I have two different types of music going on , solo acoustic guitar and electronica . The electronic music is with synthesiser and arpeggiator software . The guitar pieces were pure acoustic for several years but 2006 brought a surprise when I got some pretty nice results radically modifying the recorded guitar with sound effects and mixing that back in with the straight acoustic guitar track . We are not in Kansas anymore .
Do you play live?
I do everything alone in my garage , where I have a small metal parts manufacturing business.
My humble PC studio is crammed into a tiny corner.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Let me count the ways ....
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
That's not going to come up .
Band History:
It is deeply satisfying to make my own music after so many years, though the long struggle to be able to actually play it well is still frustrating at times . I have many tunes written
that are currently to technically difficult to record, but all good things in time.
Your influences?
As far as what actually shows through my music as an influence , I don't think anything can be pinpointed. It comes from... wherever it is inside us that beautiful music comes from.
Favorite spot?
Luxor Las Vegas , or wherever I happen to be.
Equipment used:
Electronica: Korg nx5r synth module, Arp X-8 arpeggiator software, Cakewalk, SoundForge, PC with soundcard listed below.
For guitar: Lowden S-32, mic preamp, sdc and ldc mics,
M-Audio Audiophile PC soundcard , recorded in a cramped corner of my workshop at 5am before traffic starts.
