Statement / “ I am not an adherent to genres. Artists are the sum of their personal and artistic influences. Coming of age during the mid eighties the images of aerosol art, the resonance of drum machine beats echoing off of the concrete and the future I imagined as a child weigh equally in my production voice - I cannot subvert my own DNA. I am a Prizm. Hence, I aim to amplify and give voice to the nuanced frequencies and pulses of my surroundings using a varied combination of electro acoustic sound sources”.
