During college I produced music and sang/wrote my own material. These days my creative energy is entirely devoted to science, but I'm still proud of the music I made and the friends I made it with. Here is a sample of music I performed, produced, and/or wrote:
music I wrote, produced, and performed

As I started graduate school I was wrapping up production on a pretty moody album. The instrumentation was a little different for me: Americana style instrumentation (acoustic guitar, banjo), paired with classical string arrangements and ambient electric guitars. When I finished, my brother Jon helped me make a single-shot, album-length music video in which I illustrate the lyrics of the album on the walls of our childhood bedroom.

Here is a Radiohead style (hopefully not rip-off?) song I wrote during college. We shot a fun music video from the back of a truck while driving around New York City during Hurricane Sandy. That day was miserable but the result was pretty cool :)

music I produced, recorded, and/or mixed
Of all the bands I've worked with, The Front Bottoms are the guys who really made it big. New Jersey's favorite folk-punk band now sells out venues around the world, tours with Blink-182, and is signed to one of the best rock labels around. I produced and mixed their EP Liberty and Prosperity.

Thank You Scientist makes super weird, super mathy rock music with absurd performance technicality . I recorded and mixed their debut EP, The Perils of Time Travel.

This is perhaps one of the more beautiful things I've worked on. Emerging jazz-orchestral-pop band GADADU asked me to mix their album Bay Songs. The songs are ethereal, complex, and deeply engaging.
