Projects
Bluskreen – Instrumental / Experimental Music
Bluskreen was formed in 1998 as a means to grow beyond the boundaries of genre. The exploration began with a healthy fascination for unusual musical instruments, audio sampling, effects processing, and synthesizers. This fascination quickly grew into an obsession in the form of countless musical experiments. Utilizing raw emotion and vast sonic palettes, Bluskreen has developed a truly unique and riveting musical style. Get the latest release here.
Sinch – Rock Music
Sinch is Tony Lannutti (guitar, production, & sound design), Mike Abramson (bass guitar), Dan McFarland (drums), Jamie Stem (vocals), and Jay Smith (viditar). Formed in 1994 by a group of close friends with a passion for music, the band has retained the same core members since it’s inception. Having released four full-length albums and five EPs, the band was featured in national US tours in 2002 with artists such as Chevelle, Seether, Stone Sour (featuring members of Slipknot), and Epidemic, selling over 100,000 records across the globe. Sinch was signed with Roadrunner Records from 2001 to 2003 and is currently in the process of writing their fifth full-length album independently. Help us make the new album!

I collaborate with the Livid Team contributing unique perspectives on user interface design, functionality, features, usability, and presentation.
