| I've been composing music for a number of years now, and have always been an avid video gamer. Since the beginning, I've always been very interested in the sound and music of video games. This is what lead me to eventually create the "Songs for Deathmatch" series. My musical tastes are pretty varied, but I generally like intense, dark music, be it NIN, or Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring". My biggest influences right now are NIN, Rob Zombie, A Perfect Circle, etc. My favorite recording artist/remixing genius is Charlie Clouser, who has remixed many White Zombie and NIN songs with amazing results. Some of my favorite bands of all time are Rush, Van Halen and U2. I'd have to say that my all time favorite game soundtrack is for Quake. I'm not saying this just because Trent Reznor created it. It's actually quite different than his NIN work. I just love the haunting sound textures and ambience he creates - very original, easily rivaling many a film soundtrack. Besides music, I have a degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Cincinnati, and am a full-time Systems Analyst/Web Developer. Nevertheless, music is always first, though.
