Lead Music Designer · Interactive Audio · AI + Adaptive Systems
// selected credits
Lead Music Designer at PlayStation Studios for 17 years. That meant being the person who understood both what the composer intended and how the game engine would actually play it — and closing that gap, every time, on titles with hundreds of millions of players.
Interactive music is a systems problem. A score doesn't exist in isolation — it exists inside a game state machine, responding to player actions, managing transitions between states that the designer mapped and the player discovers in some unpredictable order. Getting that right requires thinking like a composer and an engineer simultaneously.
That intersection is where the work has always lived. And it's what makes the AI moment interesting: the tools are finally sophisticated enough to work at that level, if you know how to ask.
Independent consultancy for studios and creators navigating adaptive music, AI-augmented production, and the mechanics of interactive audio. Source-First Method training available.
BPM →An AI music assistant built on the GMA Standard — 13+ months of methodology treating prompt engineering as music direction, not search. Make something real.
Launch Songwright →Interactive audio curriculum at Northwestern Michigan College and Southern Utah University. Adaptive music theory, Wwise implementation, and AI tools for game audio practitioners.
About →Northern Michigan improv funk trio. Keys, bass, drums — live and loose. Rooted in the space between composition and improvisation, where the interesting things happen.
KBD Trio →AI-generated corporate non-apology letters. A satirical engine for the art of institutional deflection. Nothing says accountability like a carefully worded statement of non-responsibility.
corporateapology.com →Artist name and alter ego. Esoteric electronic ambient built on synth-heavy arrangements — Rhodes, Hammond B3, analog gear. The working principle is that raw vulnerability beats coolness every time, and that leaving space in a track is as compositional a decision as filling it.
AIDAxPOUROVER is a collaboration with AIDA — an AI vocalist trained on emotional intimacy and restraint. Where POUROVER leaves silence, AIDA finds something to say in it.
