I have two bands and I love to play live. But there is another side of the musician's experience. These songs are my pure-bred studio babies, jammed full of post-production and audio additives you can only get from a computer.

Gets the stuff to the fans faster. Simple as that.

Certainly.

I started out solo for quite sometime, recording with just myself and my guitar through a computer mic. My songs weren't terribly imaginitve, or even good, but it was a starting point.

In 2005, I assembled a band called the Five Second Rule, which became a fusion of funk and hard rock. About a year later, myself and the bassist from FSR joined together with two members of a band called Apercu and became The Debate, a tribute to the heavy blues music of the 70's.

Many performances later, I've begun to miss recording and the like, and I have since decided to try my hand in it once more. Both of my bands are still alive and well, but now I've branched off slightly on my own.

Ian Anderson as a vocalist, Jimmy Page as a guitarist, and John Lennon as a lyricist.

I have Audacity, a reasonable computer mic and a line-in setup, a Delta-Rose semi-hollow-body guitar, a Crate, a Yamaha mixer, a mic or two, a drumset, a Viola-Bass, a Digitech floor processor, a Fender Strat, a set of harmonicas, and I'm working on getting my hands on a keyboard or synth of some kind.
