When I’m not annoyed I also write music. Also sometimes when I am annoyed. Restart: Sometimes I also write music. You can find a list below, along with a few recordings if that’s your think. Drop me a line if you’re interested in anything in particular.

Note: Tracks in bold can be listened to using the embedded Soundcloud players. Asterisk denotes an arrangement.
