Music
A guitar hook that melds with synth elements in a strange but workable union.
Three guitar tracks done with an Epiphone LP standard with mod installed Gibson Burstbucker Pros. DI into Sonar 8 and processed with Guitar Rig 2. All other tracks (synth, drums, bass) with Reason 4.0
An instrumental produced with Reason 4.0 and Sonar 7 SE
Just more nonsense. Screwing around with step sequenced guitar fx with a bit of synth thrown in the mix. Sounded a bit sci-fi when all was done.
Song inspired by an audio loop from Noise Collector at http://www.freesound.org/samplesViewSingle.php?id=4507
This reminded me of a Bigfoot LOL:) so that's where the title comes from.
Short intstrumental country sorta tune. I called it To Arizona as it is on the verrge of being country but not as country as Tennesse.
This will put you to sleep but I had to post it.
Short blues quasi techno instrumental. Wish I had the chops to play what I hear in my head but this guitar track will do.
Blues compostion.
Special thank you to acclivity for the voice sample http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/samplesViewSingle.php?id=33711
Just a test of an Aphex 207d pre-amp I added to the home studio.
Guitar driven instrumental.
Testing out the piezo pickups on my Nashville Power Tele. The results weren't great but since learned the piezo sound can be tamed. Will never sound like a true natural acoustic though.
I'm just a recording hobbiest who has nothing better to do when it's -50 degrees clecius in the winter or there are too many mosquitoes to go outside in the summer and do something a little more productive.
Why this name?
Well that's a tough question. Because I tried to photograph my Fender Telecaster through a piece of colored glass.
Do you play live?
I suppose if you consider my dogs to be legitimate listening audiences. If their ears perk up I know I have to cut, if their ears droop it's time to boost.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think it will actually have a negative impact on what we consider "the industry" to be in it's traditional sense. There are so many talented musicians out there that are unsigned, who are offering there music for nothing but a little affirmation. You combine this with the amount of people broadcasting on the internet and it provides an alternative to a market. Don't tell anyone about this, they might consider this communist or anti-patriotic. At some point in time some beauracrat, industry advocates and unionists will jump in and say hey, it's a little to unprofitable for us to allow people to share their art freely like this, let's take away some constitutional rights or try to buy the world wide web.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Only if I get to pick the chicks for my videos.
Your influences?
Bruce Springsteen, Rush, Melissa Etheridge, Red Ryder, John Mellencamp, Steve Earle, Mark Knopfler, U2....to name but a few.
Favorite spot?
Anyplace that allows you to have a good coffee and a smoke indoors.
