MUSIC PRODUCTION, SOUND DESIGN, AND SONGWRITING
FULL BODIED ELECTRONIC MUSIC WITH STRONG INFLUENCES FROM HIP HOP, HEAVY METAL, POP MUSIC, AND AMBIENT MUSIC.
I have a deep love for music production, sound design, and songwriting. Calios is my current alias, and for my older music it can be found under the name "Carzinger."
I have been producing my own music for ten years and currently produce on Ableton 10. Previously, I spent eight years on Logic Pro and have spent limited time in Reason and Pro Tools.
All of my visuals for my music were created by me with photos I've captured and photo editing applications.
