# Music
I make electronic music as **Infinite State**. Between 2012 and 2018, it was my primary creative outlet alongside code. Five releases, all analog synthesizers, all processed through whatever was happening in my life at the time.
I'm a percussionist by training. Twenty years of drums, starting with marching band. These days I mostly play hand drums, djembe and cajon, when I play at all.
Currently making music on a **Teenage Engineering OP-XY**. Small, immediate, no screen to get lost in. The constraint is the point.
## Discography
- [**Unmastered Impulses**](/music/unmastered-impulses) (2016) — The debut. 13 tracks, almost entirely analog. Raw and unpolished on purpose.
- [**Resolution**](/music/resolution) (2017) — Recorded in my home studio in the spring. Closure and new beginnings.
- [**Messengers Rising**](/music/messengers-rising) (2017) — 14 tracks processing the bipolar diagnosis and its aftermath.
- [**Alchemical Divorce**](/music/alchemical-divorce) (2017) — An EP celebrating the end of a toxic relationship.
- [**As Above, So Below**](/music/as-above-so-below) (2018) — Ambient and experimental. The Hermetic principle as sound.
## Gear History
The studio I built between 2012 and 2018 is gone. Moog Voyager, Moog Sub37, Arturia MatrixBrute, DSI Tempest, Roland TR-8, a full [Eurorack rig](https://modulargrid.net/e/racks/view/63164), Ableton Live with Push. I sold all of it. The music lives on the streaming platforms. The gear served its purpose.
Now it's just the OP-XY, a pair of headphones, and whatever wants to come out.
