All my solo stuff from the upcoming "Age of Discovery" CD is basically all me. I am doing the GTR, Bass, and everything with some help on drums from a few VSTi's.
Why this name?
It's my name.
Do you play live?
No, though if I ever get an opportunity.. I would like to sit in with my old pal Jamie Toomey in Austin and jam.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It's amazing how technology has changed the industry. Now, an amateur in his or her bedroom can basically cut a track.. and gain WORLDWIDE exposure.... just by posting stuff on sites like Soundclick or iTunes.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, but only if I could call the shots myself.
Band History:
Just me.. been playing a fair few years... though my chops are a bit rusty... but hopefully that will fix itself while I work on the pre-production phase of Age of Discovery
Your influences?
I'm not sure.. mainly instrumental guitar stuff ala Satch or Vai... but with more "sack" and closer to Dream Theater or Iron Maiden...
Favorite spot?
San Antonio is a fave currently.
Equipment used:
One of my axes thru either a Tonelab, POD XT or POD 2.0. From there to the Soundlab computer running Cubase SX3 or Reaper.
Anything else...?
Working on the writing and pre-production phase of "Age of Discovery."
