I've been creating music since I was just a little kid (born in 1981) with a Casio PT-100, a Fisher Price tape recorder, and a Vtech Pre Computer 2000. My father was in charge of mixing and recording the church band and I helped setup the wiring and then watched him every Sunday. I would play with tape recordings and demagnitize the tapes to use them again. My tape recorder had a built in microphone and I would record sounds around the house and of course make it feedback.

One day in 1997, I happened to hear the chemical brothers 'block rockin beats' and was hooked on electronic music. I started making tracks with Music Maker, Acid Pro, and learned sound design and synthesis with Native Instruments Reaktor and Absynth, Propellerhead Reason, and Ableton Live. I am now a fan of artists like Chemical Brothers, Deadmau5, Aphex Twin, BT, Imogen Heap, Tim Exile, and Richard Devine.

Now I take advantage of Ableton Live, VCV Rack, hardware synthesizers, modular hardware, and over 700 VSTs to make tracks for corporate videos, electronic music compilations, video games, and for my personal body of work, which you can find on Youtube, Apple Music, Spotify, Bandcamp, Soundcloud, and Instagram.

Over more than thirty years, I have collected thousands of field recordings which get incorporated into many patches, tracks, sample packs, and kontakt instruments.

I discovered VCV Rack, a modular synthesis software emulation, in 2017 and I was finally able to combine my decades of software development experience and my love for music. I launched JW-Modules on Oct 16, 2017 and have now created a total of 33 modules for VCV Rack.

I now have over 17 thousand followers on social media. Deadmau5 and Richard Devine have used them in videos and Pete Townshend has been a vocal fan. They have appeared in Computer Music magazine and on the Create Digital Music website. The JW-Modules Github repo is one of the most starred VCV Rack repos.

One of the things I love about VCV Rack is the friendly community built around it. I hope I can help others gain the skills I spent years teaching myself and give back to the community of creators that helped me learn.
