Arj

Born and raised in Southern California, currently living in Portsmouth, NH.


I'm fascinated by the artistic intersection of music and interactivity, and that intersection is often the focus of my side projects.


A fun fact about me is that I have something called Exploding Head Syndrome, which sounds a lot scarier than it is. It's like hearing a flashbang or zap sound when trying to fall asleep.

Animal companions

Patches, the Balinese, was the first addition to the family. She is truly my rock. I can count on her to come say hi just enough to know she didn't forget about me.


Next came Poppy, the infinitely loving English Setter. She loves her siblings and is growing into an excellent young lass.


Last but not least is the outgoing and enigmatic Panther. This very vocal Scottish Fold is difficult to describe, so I'll let the pictures do it.

My lil' studio

Moog Grandmother – Semi-modular beast. I mostly use this for basslines.


Electron Digitakt – the clock for the whole ensemble, where I program drums.


Tascam Model 12 – for mixing during DAWless sessions, also acts as my interface when involving a PC.


Korg Minilogue XD – a powerful little synth, great for lead melodies.


Spotify Playlists

My “random stuff” playlists capture my favorite songs from a given year. The genres increase/decrease in prevalence depending on the year, but the playlists are consistently dancey and great for driving, parties, working out, etc.
