Welcome to Jacki's dance club! Enjoy these tracks!
Do you play live?
I make music here at home on my computer, plus I play at a church in Tigard, Oregon. I hope to branch out and do more live shows some day.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It's great, more choices, more bands, more opportunities!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Would have to consider the offer.
Band History:
In 1987 I picked up a keyboard for the first time and haven't been the same since. I took six months worth of piano lessons and then basically taught myself after that. I have subbed for a bar band, played in churches and even played in my old high school once. I dream of doing live piano gigs, just background music for parties, etc. Also I'm pretty good at accompaniment, and another dream I have is to accompany an up and coming singer. I began writing music in 2002 - first on a Roland XP-50, then on a Roland Fantom Xa, and I am now doing my writing on Reason Version 4. For mixing down/fading, I use Gold Wave. I know I still have a lot to learn but the process is nothing short of exciting. I hope I can make music for many more years to come.
Your influences?
I love all kinds of music but in the 70's I was quite enchanted with Georgio Moroder and artists like him. The track for I Feel Love by Donna Summer is still the bomb. I also was influenced by Jan Hammer and Kraftwerk.
Favorite spot?
Right now Vancouver, Washington; also love McMinnville, Oregon.
Equipment used:
Roland Fantom Xa, Compaq computer, Reason Version 4, Gold Wave Audio, various speakers, etc., and of course my fingers and brain!!!!!!!! :)
Anything else...?
Making music is AWESOME!!!
