Our adventurous friend Coronado suggested I put some of my demos on the internet to get some feedback...what a concept! I give much thanks to sites like SoundClick for making that possible. Since I have no formal musical training or recording experience, I primarily do this as a hobby for my own enjoyment, but if other's can enjoy it too, it is an added bonus.
My heartfelt thanks goes to Mr. Stephen Kay, the inventor of KARMA. Simply the greatest inspirational music making tool on the planet! Don't miss seeing him perform KARMA magic at karma-lab.com! Great big thanks to E-mu, Korg, Kurzweil and Roland for making such fantastic synthesizers, and last but not least, I would also like to kindly acknowledge Mr. Eric James Sawyer (Jim, also known to us as EJ2), the sound designer of the combi's that were used on many of these tunes, as well as fellow Texan Jim Stout (www.jimstout.tv) for his videos at NAMM and on youtube that show us how to make better use of the amazing V-Synth.
Special thanks to my friend and fellow music traveler Moreno Caponi for not only providing such great custom art designs on a moments notice for many of the songs, but also for his valuable feedback and constant encouragement...thanks Mo! Be sure to visit Mo'tic on Soundclick to see more of his art and to hear mo Mo!
Most honorable mentions go to brainpaint.com for the ultra-cool background that comes from EEG biofeedback...it's from a brain! How cool is that? Also, thanks to kitwatkins.com, not only for great music and cool visuals, but for making his older music available for free download. Thanks Kit! "Azure" still continues to inspire me after all these years!

Why this name?
I enjoy the "sound worlds" of Steve Roach, Robert Rich, Thom Brennan and other ambient instrumental artists. Plus, I dig worldbeat and ethnic sounds, so Soundworld A.D. was a natural evolutionary name, not only for my studio, but for me as well. The A.D. serves to remind me of the great sacrifice that was done on my behalf by my Creator.
Do you play live?
I used to play Beatles, Led Zeppelin & Pink Floyd tunes on my acoustic guitar at lake parties in my younger years! I just love playing outdoors.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It has changed things for the better I think. Now, artists and musicians can put their sounds out there for feedback and other's enjoyment without having to grovel in some music executives office!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
No. I like my freedom to do what I want when I want without any pressure or expectations.
Band History:
I have been doing this as a hobby since about 1992, but went through a long 6 or 7 year dry spell. The Korg OASYS and KARMA and the Roland V-Synth re-sparked my love for making music and made it fun again. The majority of the songs that I've posted on SoundClick have been done just since March of 2009.
Your influences?
All Classic Rock. Motown, R&B (mostly 60's & 70's), Progressive Rock, Jazz, New Age, Ambient, Ambient Dub, Worldbeat, Ethnic.
Favorite spot?
Northern California in the mountains amidst the Sequoia. My "home away from home."
Equipment used:
Synthesizers, drums, guitars.
Anything else...?
Someday, I will actually learn to play keyboards properly and learn to read and write music! Then, I will be dangerous...LOL!
Thanks to my family and friends for giving me their support all of these years. You're the best!
And last but certainly not least, I thank God for reminding me that I was losing my joy in life by chasing after things that just weren't that important. Thank you, thank you, thank you Lord for giving me back my joy!
(Romans 8:38-39)
Peace!
