Pretty simple, really. I record in my attic and consider myself a fool.

I have played live, but not recently. I love playing live and wish I could do it for a living.

It gives goofballs like me a chance at some public exposure we would never have had in the recent past.

The industry needs to focus on audiophile-grade recordings; ultra high quality, and convince the general public that they're missing out listening to MP3s. The industry shot itself in the foot when they started catering to the lowest common denominator because most of those folks can care less about quality, they just want hype. You can get hype all damn day long on the internet. You still, fortunately, have to pay for the best quality available.

Sure, as long as the deal was fair, I maintained creative control, and the label was sincere in their support.

I started in the House of Pancakes, then found myself in the Living Dead, Mescaline Dream, the Deadbeats, Leopold Bloom, a nameless collaboration, and now another soon to be nameless collaboration.

Boredoms, Stereolab, Radiohead, Can, Steve Reich, Pink Floyd, Tool, King Crimson, Black Sabbath, Gentle Giant, Zeppelin, Rachmaninoff, Depeche Mode, Skinny Puppy, Beethoven, Beatles, and generally anything else that is progressive or intense sounding in a melodic way.

Haven't quite found it yet, although I'm fond of a park in Olcott, New York.

Old synths and some software; mainly Fruity Loops and recently Tracktion for sequencing. Samplitude for multi-tracking and Wavelab for single file work.

We should really legalize pot and mushrooms, vote out all of representatives and keep putting new ones in there until we have some who actually give a damn about people other than themselves, our education system brainwashes people and does not actually teach knowledge. Turn off your televison and take a walk with your loved ones.
