2007, almost 20 years ago, was when the amalgamation of influences that had filled my head finally took form into a musical substance. Mixing eastern tones with rock inflection and modern soundtrack design, was the starting point of my instrumental music endeavours.

as time went on these musical imaginings went back and forth in a yin-yang like form, fighting between overly Ethnic sounds and the more industrial modern rock that was falling out from my fingers onto the strings. Along the way I even took up playing ethnic woodwinds, such as the Armenian Duduk & the Japanese Shakuhachi and the chinese Dizi flute.

it was finally in 2017 that I created the epilogue EP for Dreamfullofzen, the titled “Alone in this world, but not the next”, released on Bandcamp as P.W.Y.W (Pay what you want, usually the amount being o).

I also worked as a Freelance for hire producer and soloist, primarily as a player of the Armenian Duduk, an exotic and unique double reed wind instrument. During my tenure as a Music Professor at the A.U.C, I amassed enough research on the instrument and it’s repertoire to write a thesis for a Ph.D that I didn’t end up pursuing, which was eventually edited into the book “The Armenian Duduk: a complete guide”.

Currently I can be contacted via soundbetter for Duduk sessions, lessons, or consultations.
