Wallace has been interested in music since he was very young when his mother played Beethoven and Pavarotti in the house all the time. He majored in music composition and history at Bucknell

University, studying composition with William Duckworth while composing on the original Apple Macintosh computers in 1985.

He went on to pursue graduate studies at Bowling Green State University with a research fellowship under Dr. Burton Beerman in the electronic and computer music studio. While there, he created a cataloged library of digital recordings of faculty members for students to create their own samples. He also had his first recognition with his composition “Visions for Flute and Video” performed at the Electronic Music Plus 17 International Festival at Oberlin Conservatory of Music in 1989.

Following grad school he went on to various job such as managing a small computer store, working in computer animation in a small video production house, and even a short (failed) stint as a financial planner

before discovering his true calling in software tech in the mid 1990s. Wallace has since worked for some of the largest software compaines in the world since settling in the Seattle area.

Fast forward to the global pandemic shutdown when he realized he had the time and resources to dive back into his passion of making music. He had to start over and relearn music theory and catch up on music technology.

Fortunately he has formed partnerships with several directors in the Seattle area including Ed Castañeda, Tom Hirschler, Ean Tallent, Sam Mostavoy, Jim Dicus, and Washington Laws. Combined they have produced nineteen short films that have screened at over fifty film festivals including top tier horror festivals including Screamfest (Los Angeles), Hard:Line (Regensburg, Germany), Days of the Dead (Atlanta), and Bleedingham (Bellingham).
