I mostly play in bands and do the usual rehearsals with whatever bands how ever long they last until something comes along and screws it up or whatever. You know either your unhappy or someone else is unhappy or someone is on drugs and pisses off the other band members who are trying to take shit seriously. In the meantime just to keep my creative juices flowing non-stop, I keep doing music on my own. I did at one time try to be a film composer and I have kept some of those contacts so some of my songs have wound up in independent horror films and if a director likes something, I'm more then happy to offer my tracks. Really I have sorta given up on that. There are computer programs out there that make it possible for people who have little or no knowledge of music to make really professional sounding material and I just don't have the money for those expensive programs or the time to learn how to use them due to my working full time and doing the band stuff on the side. I may have 2 to 3 bands going on at once. So basically I do these songs you hear on this site for my own personal amusement and creative outlets. They are what they are if you like them or not.

I don't think it would be possible to play this stuff live and if I could I'm not sure if anyone would come see it.

I'm mainly a metal guy. I have 3 top metal bands that have been my biggest influences and they are Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Voivod. My industrial influences come from a band called Godflesh.

I wish I could say I have state of the art equipment but I don't. I use whatever is available and affordable. god knows being a musician doesn't pay the bills. I use Gibson Epiphone and BC Rich guitar, PV and Ibanez basses (The Ibanez is a 6 string) Korg synthesizer vocorder, FL studio7, Zoom Dr rhythm drum machine, Yamaha Electric drumset, Yamaha BR1600 16 track digital recorder, and various Boss stomp box effects.
