Hello!

​​

My name is Aaron and I compose, produce, and perform original music, as well as conduct, arrange, and teach.

​

My work combines abstract ambient music with elements from traditional film score, jazz, and industrial electronic.  Using acoustic performances of saxophones, woodwinds, pianos, and human voice in tandem with synthesizers and digital editing tools, my aim is to create dynamic instrumental compositions that invite the listener on a journey of beauty, extremity, intensity, vastness, humor, and joy.

 

I regularly produce original music for film, TV, dancers, and other types of art projects.  I have also served as music editor on various films and TV shows (see full credits).  In addition to music, I have provided sound design for various VR, AR, and wearable technology companies such as Talespin and AppliedVR.

 

In 2021, I released my first EP, “Cinema Subconscious” – a concept project inspired by many long walks during the 2020 pandemic.

 

In November 2024, I released my second EP, “Pathways,” inspired by the deserts of the American Southwest.

 

My most recent single release, “Rainfall,” is part of an upcoming full-length album release.

 

I carry a BM in Jazz Studies from the University of Southern California Thornton School of music, and a currently based in Portland, Oregon, where I perform, compose, and teach saxophone, composition, film scoring and music production.

​

My music draws from a wide array of artists; currently, those artists most notably include:

Tim Hecker,  Colin Stetson, Johnny Greenwood, James Blake, Visible Cloaks, Lorn, CUTS, Kaityln Aurelia Smith, Nadia Struiwigh, Moses Sumney, Clark, Miles Davis, Woodkid, Alabaster DePlume, Alva Noto, and Hans Zimmer.
