Saturn Return
Alchemical art rock duo — two albums, two EPs, and a decade of transmutation through sound.
View Project →Saturn Return
An alchemical art rock duo with Michael Zucker — NOAA atmospheric scientist, LiDAR instrument developer, and a fixture of the Denver rock scene. Two studio albums, two EPs, and a body of work that draws equally from neidan, Enochian cosmology, and the Pythagorean tradition of musica universalis — filtered through electric guitar and produced with the same signal-chain discipline I bring to everything else.
Released under Differential Productions, a production and engineering studio I co-founded with Mike. I still make music when time permits — it’s the oldest practice I have.

Background
I started studying percussion in third grade and trained classically through high school — concert band, orchestra, jazz ensemble, choir, musicals, and advanced coursework in music theory and composition. Percussion led to enough piano to get dangerous with synthesizers, which led to electronic music production — a path that now runs straight through everything I build. Saturn Return is where all of that lives.
