SoftShell
A Project Studio, virtual Rock & Roll band, and me. I write all the music and lyrics, play all the instruments, do all the programming, voices, engineering, production. If it gets done I do it, no premanufactured loops here. I do all my own stuff. If you want me to do something for you it's twice the going rate. And it'll probably take at least twice as long.

Why this name?
Mostly just 'cause I've been using the moniker for years
Do you play live?
It's better than playing dead. Unless you're a dog. Then you might get a treat.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Prolly there's a bunch of suits with no skills currently on the job market. Oh, that's mean ain't it?
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yeah, with only two small requirements.
1. I get enough money to do whatever I want.
2. I have absolutely no obligations.
Seriously, it's no more likely that I would sign any deal offered than that one would be offered in the first place. Get real willya?

Band History:
Mystery? There's no mystery, just me. Oh, you said history...
Your influences?
To tell the truth, about all I listen to anymore is my stuff. So I'll hafta say that my main influence is me. ME ME ME ! (am I sensing a theme?) But if ya really gotta know I'm basically some kind of rocker. Been known to listen to some Jazz, Coultrane and Miles are definately cool. Throw in a smattering of classical training and way more extensive listening than I'd care for. But it's all good. Something else I listen to alot is that dripping faucet in the kitchen. Man I gotta fix that.
Favorite spot?
Favorite spot, hmmmmn. Hafta be the big, comfy chair in front of my DAW. I can lean back & put my feet up on the ViewSonic.
Equipment used:
An old computer, buncha old crummy soundcards. A couple guitars, a Hammond, console piano, even a real live Rhodes, but, uhh.. it was kinda thrown away after some local marching band beat the crap outta it. What the heck is a marching band using a Rhodes for anyways? I'd think it would be a mite heavy to parade around with. And thanks to their loving TLC it currently, I think the term is, NSR (needs serious repair). Man, those guys are worse than a couple doped up roadies ;)
What else, oh yeah, I just got a drum kit. Same price as the Rhodes but it's mostly an old Rodgers so can't be too bad. Be up and running with a little more hardware (no snare stand & only 2 legs for the floor tom) and a ROOM to put it in. And some cymbals. There's the rub not to mention the cost. So I'm guessing it'll be awhile on that. Outside 'o all that just the typical stuff, some mics, and whole gobs of other antique gear that's been collecting around here for a half century or so.

Anything else...?
Haven't had enough yet, huh?
