I began studying music at age 7. I began studying cello at age 9. For some years I studied violin and viola performance at the college level. I began performing live and working in studio settings in the Baton Rouge and New Orleans greater metropolitan areas with bands, artists and studios in 1991. I continue that work.
A singer-songwriter on guitar with live support from my cello is a favorite setting for me, I enjoy recording my own songs with this mix.
I'm very focused on developing new live recording techniques with new technology to capture some of the things I am doing in the studio with violin, viola and cello. I'm pretty straightforward, I want to capture the real sound of the instrument at the highest quality level. In post production anything can then be accomplished.
I have been songwriting for about 15 years. Songwriting is a vehicle to get me in the studio recording scores of tracks with real violins and violas and celli.
I built an awesome DAW Dualie five years ago and threw myself and all my instruments into it, lots of music came out. It became a submarine, drowned. And so it goes.
I participate in many online collaboration websites and recording related forums. I write a lot of mix reviews. I learn.
I do perform live with bands and artists on violin, viola and cello with a pickup or various mic techniques. Playing live is the magic that keeps my heart in love with music. I love to jam with all the radio channels.
