Hi, I'm Joshua Wentz.

I'm a composer/performer from Chicago, Illinois. For the past thirteen years I've focused on having a complete lack of stylistic focus, creating multiple albums and EPs, writing music for documentary film and commercial applications, and developing experiments in remote collaboration.

I love recording for film and video applications, and I'm currently playing keyboards for Absinthe & The Dirty Floors.

I'm always looking for new and interesting projects, so if you'd like to commission some audio, get in touch.

Free Listening! Every track I have recorded to date (from 1996 to 2009) is now available for free download. If you're insterested, go have a listen!

Podcasts! I put together a few regular podcasts, if you're into that sort of thing. Check out Downcast for your weekly dose of indie picks, and Winchester Sessions for some crazier, improvised recording.

Writing! I have a column over at The Examiner that focuses on home recording. I try to post a new article several times a week, so if you like hearing about cool gear, awesome indie music, and recording ideas and tips, be sure to check out my writing.
