I played flute on an album with Charlotte Funk-Rock legends, Akita Funk. This was so much fun and this band is like family. A Charlotte staple.

A cinematic tribute to 2Topia Cycles, the beloved Charlotte motorcycle shop that left its mark on two-wheeled culture in the Carolinas. This short film captures the spirit of freedom, grit, and passion that defined the shop, told through the lens of a rider on a Triumph built for the open road.
Every sound in the video – from the rev of the engine to the clink of tools – was crafted from field recordings at the 2Topia shop and out in the wild. The music score is built entirely from these real sounds and a single guitar, embodying the shop’s authenticity and soul.
Though 2Topia Cycles has closed its doors, its legacy rides on.

From the experimental archives of 2012... Using just a piano, I made the sound/music fresh out of my Master's in Music Composition program from UNCG. My associate Alice Dull sent me this silent video & wanted to see what I could do with it. I wanted to make something, but no longer had access to UNCG's amazing studio & softwares, and I was back to my basic piano + laptop/ProTools with a couple of microphones.
Using the piano I had, I recorded reverberating piano chords and reversed them to create the foundational washy backgrounds that crescendo (pianos don't naturally do that), maximized L/R directional shaping 🎧 (instead of the nice surround sound that I was spoiled with @ UNCG's studio lol but it still travels around), brought out some ringing of the overtones, and used the light + images + my own interpretations as inspiration for the rest of the sound + music.
