I am a solo act. I play all of the instruments (live or sequenced), but have not studied anything except guitar (lessons since 1996). I love my wife and daughter for allowing me to indulge my gear lust, and this entertaining and frustrating hobby.
Why this name?
My parents chose the name.
Do you play live?
I play live, but only in my basement.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
We'll see.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
ha, ha, ha
Band History:
I dj'd (parties and radio) from 1979-81.
I bought my first synth in 1985 (Casio CZ-101).
Started making 4 track recordings. Added more and more gear.
Began taking first formal music instruction in 1996 - guitar- - under Paco Meija (Staten Island, NY).

Your influences?
Expect anything. I have been influenced by so much, and I keep on being influenced by "new" things that I hear.
Favorite spot?
