John resides in the Los Angeles area where he is the Director of DVD Production for a Warner Bros. affiliate. Previously, he taught New England Digital Synclavier and other work stations for audio post production at Full Sail Real World Education. He left Full Sail to move to San Francisco in the burgeoning days of DVD to develop the training program for Sonic Solutions DVD hardware and software systems. San Francisco also became the birth city for his independent music label, Parnassus Nump. His debut album, Immersion (released under the alias Laocoön) drew high praise from radio, press and other ambient artists at the turn of the century. He is currently designing sound as well as scoring a short film to be released in the Fall of 2003 entitled What She Found There. In addition, he composed original music for menus on New Line’s DVD release My Brother’s Keeper, starring Jeanne Tripplehorn.

John’s writing process is directly connected to the discovery of sonic events through experimentation and improvisation. Artists that have had an influence on John include Brian Eno, Tangerine Dream, Jean Michel-Jarre, Michael Brook, Steve Roach, Robert Rich, Danny Elfman/Oingo Boingo, Steve Reich, Philip Glass, Underworld, Plaid and Erik Satie.
