This page was put up just for fun. It's a chronicle of my early personal endeavors in to the musical realm. Going back to as early as 1986.
It's all synth based, overly repetitive, sonic mush.
In some cases the original audience was intended not to be sober.
most of these "songs" are listen~able, some are funny, the others ... you be the judge.

Why this name?
Way Early, It was Stymie and his vicious circle band.
I'm JT. This is my sound.

Do you play live?
A long time ago. Nowadays I only exist in the studio.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Personally I think MP3 has helped the music "community" way more than it has hurt the "Industry"
But…
We all want to get paid ... ya know.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
No. I'm a studio owner/engineer. I record music for other people most of time. With mics and real instruments and I get paid up front.
This synth stuff is just for fun. However – If by chance you’d like to use snippets of it, just ask me first.

Band History:
When I was a wee tot, I was forced by the parental unit to take piano lessons.
I’ve had some sort of portable keyboard my entire life. When I discovered MIDI at the tender age of 15 (1987) and from that point on I started building my "Studio".

Equipment used:
The earliest generation of my studio was a Krumar Rhodes, 2 radio shack cassette recorders, mixer and a reverb. It progressed to Casio CZ, and CZ101, Roland E-20, Yamaha SY-75, QS 6,7,8. M1, s-770, a roland with like 300 knobs, EMU1 and proteus, Sr-16, R-8, K2000 Tascam 4 and 8 track cassette Decks, a Vestax 6 Track, Fostex R8, The PC used a Turtle Beach Tahiti, and then Tahiti with a Tropez Plus as a sampler, Roland MC-500, and onboard sequencers, Music Quest TRAX and Music Time, Then the Jump to Cakewalk Pro 4,(6,7,8,9 Sonar 1,2,3) and hardware dman2044, 2 X2044's, A Maxistudio ISIS, a full Dakota setup (which didnt work out for me at the time)with a Mackie SR24 back to a Terratec EWS88mt,2xEWS88mt with an Alesis Studio 32 (that also didn’t work out for me) on to a Mackie 24*8 and 2 D-90s. Then the switch to 100% Digital with 3 Ews88Ds and a Roland VM-7200. A full acoustic studio complete with hand crafted custom drums. And a sweet 14 pad electric drum set with Roland and Alesis brains. Gigasampler, Reaktor, and P5 on 4 pcs. I'm sure there was other stuff that I'm forgetting, but that should give you the idea
I'm currently in a state of flux in building a new ground up facility to start working on some new stuff. Stay tuned (Sony DMX-r100 w RME madi and 2000Sqft in Q1 2005.)
