Why this name?
This is just my name. Very simple, but very honest...
Do you play live?
Yes! In and around the Southern Oregon Coast. Sometimes at the Pony Village Mall's Center Stage in North Bend, and at clubs and restaurants in the area.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It makes the music more accessible, and opens us all to more new bands and artists.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, but only if I was allowed to maintain some creative control. I hate the idea of an artist or band getting signed, then being fixed to fit the label's formula.
Band History:
I have been in love with music almost since the day I was born. My parents were both musically gifted, Mom with a great ear and singing voice and dad with all of the above plus "mad skills" on reed instruments. I played french horn, trombone, and trumpet in high school in Utah, and taught myself to play piano during that time, because it is hard to write a whole New Age / Electronica tune on a french horn.
Your influences?
Influences would include Thomas Dolby, Prince, Vangelis, Moby, David Lanz, Manheim Steamroller, INXS, Brian Eno, Ennio Morricone, John Williams, Tangerine Dream, Dave Brubeck, Sting, Phil Collins...tons more - too many to list!
Favorite spot?
Sunset Bay in Oregon, Flaming Gorge in Utah, and wherever I can see my kids...
Equipment used:
You guys are gonna laugh...I write ALL of my tracks out one track at a time, very little looping, on an old Yamaha PSR - 540, and I use Cakewalk to flesh out the arrangements. I also use Reason 2.5, and several softsynths....
Anything else...?
The things you will hear on this site are parts of me. It's like introducing my children to the world...I am a little nervous, but damn proud of them. Enjoy...
