About Me

“If a composer could say what he had to say in words he would not bother trying to say it in music.”
Gustav Mahler
Music can change the world because it can change people.
Bono

Hello, and welcome to my site. My name is Maeghan and I’m an aspiring musician. I started playing piano at the age of 5, and a few years later I got my first “keyboard”, a Casio SK1.

In my early twenties I decided that music was the “end all be all” in life so I pursued studying classical piano and I purchased my a Macintosh G4 Mirrored Door along with emagic’s “EMI 6|2m Gold Production Kit”.

It was while I was studying classical piano at Loyola College in Maryland, now called Loyola University, that I met a friend for life, Anthony Ianiro. At the time he lived in Philadelphia where he was a part of a rising Indie Rock scene. I choose to drop out of my studies at Loyola to move to Philadelphia.

Since 2005, I have emersed myself in learning Logic and programming analog synthesizers. In the Fall of 2005, I purchased my first analog synth, the Minimoog Voyager. The Voyager’s interface was quite intimidating to me at the time, not knowing anything about subtractive synthesis, so it wasn’t until I purchased a prophet~600 that I truly became addicted to knobs, oscillators, amplifiers, and filters.

I’ve taken the approach that rather than rely on other people to record, or even play with, I decided to learn enough and get the equipment I would need so that I could be self-sufficient in producing my own music. If it so happens that other people come along then great. I currently play with one other person, a bass player, who happens to be my husband.

My objective is to record the music that is within me. I hope someday I will be onstage and not just in my home studio. I believe that music is the language of the universe. I believe that music keeps this world turning. I believe that music can change people. I believe that music can express that which words can not tell. I believe that if you listen to music with an open mind, you might find out there is more to life that meets the eye. I believe that everything happens for a reason.
