Part of an ever changing group called the 'Philosophy of Lions' (http://www.myspace.com/philosophyoflions), I enjoy composing my own songs as well as collaborating as part of a larger group. As a song writer I would say I trend towards down-tempo grooves with minimalist structures. I really enjoy writing lyrics although I am rarely fully satisfied with the results.
The Philosophy of Lions is a collaborative project focusing around two core organizers but consisting of any number of members. It is the culmination of a lot of random jamming over the years among friends.
