Welcome to The Age or Reason!
Why this name?
I believe music should be a blend of intellect
and inspiration and that the mind should be the
master of all human faculties, especially art.
Do you play live?
I used to play recorder on the streets on Orange County and Los Angeles,
as well as few throw-together Rennaisance bands for weddings, book
store openings and the like. These days I'm content to stay at home and
compose.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Need I say? For me, I never would have had the
opportunity to communicate to such a vast and
varied audience without the Internet. The world
has been my classroom and stage.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Probably not since there is no reason to do that.
My music has always been free and I see no
reason to change now. I have a job. I'd hate to turn music into one.
Band History:
I've been playing and composing since 1972 any
where people would be willing to listen. Early
on I played in the streets onf Los Angeles. I've
played in city music festival in Japan in the
1980's.

Recently I've written music for various Web
Pages and other productions/computer software,
etc....

Your influences?
Telemann, who is the hero of all recorder players.
JS Bach, the master of all music.
Equipment used:
I only us a PC. I create musical scores using
Encore for Windows. The MIDI data is exported
out to Cakewalk, if needed, then recorded and
converted to Mp3 format.
Anything else...?
I get word of lots of performances of musical
efforts from all over, yet I have yet to secure
a good recording of one. If you are so inclined,
I'd be very appreciative of receiving one someday.
