My older work is mostly MIDI based, 99% composed with a mouse, and later works I've started recording directly from my guitar & keyboard along with MIDI elements. Very little of my work now is purely GM, although I still use Midisoft Recording Session to throw a lot of the samples together.
Why this name?
It's my real name, and I'm not really a band because I'm just me working alone.
Do you play live?
I have played live, but only rarely. Most of the pieces I compose at this point are unperformable, although I do still compose for classical guitar and piano, but I'm not fond of performing with either of those.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It helps upcomming artists find an audience, and I think it's great that folks can share music so easily.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Absolutely.
Band History:
I have been a composer since early childhood, initially starting on piano, then moving to classical guitar and other "classical" instruments before discovering MIDI. Since then, I have composed largely elecronic styles incoperating aspects of world, orchestral, and jazz music forms.
Your influences?
My electronic music has been influenced by people like Mike Oldfield, as well as being influenced by Middle Eastern, Indian, and Asian styles. I like to use oriental and other enthic instruments a lot. I have recently started to incorperate some jazz into my works as well.
Favorite spot?
Big Cyprus, Florida
Equipment used:
an Audigy2 ZS soundcard, an Alesis QS8 keyboard, Midisoft Recording session (the version made prior to 2000) and a mouse. More recently I also use a Gibson electric guitar and a set of 4 FAB effects pedals.
Anything else...?
I am no longer selling CDs through this website since the MP3s are now for sale individually. If you would like a CD, please e-mail me and we can work something out.
