For me, music always exists within a space, within a context, and as a texture of phenomena. It is my sincere effort to find the sound of spaces, contexts, and phenomena. I am a Seattle-based music producer, and Noctilusense is my musical alias.

Over the years, I've worked various day jobs in custom music curation and studied recording studio technology. I finally took a turn into producing my own electronic compositions starting in the late 2000's. (My even earlier training in classical and jazz guitar informs my music too, if in some very oblique ways.)

My current sound is a combination of softsynths, processing, analog synths, and ambient guitar exploring textures and overlapping tonal layers. Usually slowly evolving and sometimes static. Frequently liminal and melancholic. Occasionally romantic but never sentimental.

To borrow the words of contemporary music critic Alex Ross: "In all, I approach music not as a self-sufficient sphere but as a way of knowing the world."
