Why this name?
My parents and I entered into grueling pre-partum deliberations and decided something Biblical would do the trick.
Do you play live?
Occasionally. It's hard to stop writing long enough to put together a show.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It means that I can now instruct record companies with the utmost cordiality and sincerity to:"Kiss my ass"
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yep.
Your influences?
Billy Joel, Elton John, Pink Floyd, Judas Priest, They Might Be Giants, Corelli, Scarlotti, Dickens, Nietzsche, Prince, Don Henley, David Bowie and basically everything I've ever heard has contributed to my perpetual delinquency.
Favorite spot?
G . . . (been done?) Okay, then it would be sitting in a club in New Orleans listening to musicians actually play.
Equipment used:
I use anything I can get my hands on. I work the olde tyme way. No Pro Tools, no loops, everything is hand crafted. I still use an Ensoniq ASR-10 sampler, Roland 1080 stuffed with expansion boards, Jupiter, Oberheim, rack mount FX and all my pianos come from the Kurzweil PC2 - the only deck I gig with.
Anything else...?
Thanks for stopping by. Your support is invaluable. I hope you enjoy your time here.
