Balok (bā-lŏk)
n.

Thanks for visiting my artist page! Years of piano lessons have established my musical foundation. I have many influences, but my music tastes gravitate toward instrumentals. I enjoy film scores (and film in general), electronic, and classical music--my pieces tend to be in this vein. Vocals are starting to creep in, though, thanks to some great collaborations. As far as bands go, Radiohead is about all I need. GarageBand has proven to be a fantastic tool that has taken my appreciation for music to new heights. I hope you enjoy what I have to offer.

Thanks to the iComp team for creating such a unique community. This is the future of music. I'm honored to be a part of it.

BTW, if you're in need of a film score, let me know!
