Hello World!, I say WELCOME. I'm a 41 year old classic rock fan and musician. For the most part I only do covers of classic rock and folk songs but am known from slipping in an occasional ballad or instrumental here and there too. Played for a while in a great cover band - Texas Chili Dog from North Bergen NJ (*don't* ask me WHY that name, it was as is when I joined in) that was starting to get good but events in my life sort of threw me off balance and that plus other issues stopped that project... best of the best to EC, Jason and Don. Almost two years after I regroup and in July 2006 I found a place behind the drumset with the BEST Metal covers band in NYC: Lyxx.
Why this name?
M0RPH is a composition stemming from my full name's initials - RPH. Most of the elements that conform the stuff I do comes straight from the synthesizer, but each piece also has some real acoustical instruments which could be the drums, bass, guitar, vocals (not a singer I must warn you all) among others... so in essence, each piece is morphed into shape and comes to be what you hear in this site.
Do you play live?
Love playing live and there's nothing beyond in the music world as gratifying and exciting. Special moments... audience's hands up in the air, people dancing themselves crazy in front of the stage. It is a little known fact but everyone's heart just follows the rhythm that's set by the DRUMMER (insert evil laughter here).
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It has happened so fast and all over the place that the music industry has lost its way and as an extinct dinosaur, has reacted way too slow to try and catch up. The old models need to be seriously analyzed and revised.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
No... these days and age there's no need for them. That is unless one has the "GO for the $$dough$$" attitude... musicianship shall prevail :-)
Your influences?
Led Zeppelin for the most part, John Bonham being one of the greatest. Neil Peart from Rush follows extremely close.
Favorite spot?
New York City!
Equipment used:
With very high prominence: Yamaha. Then there are the others like Pearl, Tamma, Ludwig, Yamaha, Ibanez... too many brands to remember. Always remember though that the brand DOES NOT make a musician... if you're a dedicated one you can make a plain rubberband sing!
Anything else...?
All this on this site is done just for the love of music. Keep that in mind :-)
