Art Elswick
I have played for a long time (back when you recorded to tape and before MIDI...Wow!). I am a self taught arranger and have formal training in A/V Production.
I compose mostly the music however I do sometimes try to write lyrics.
I have worked with other musicians in a Producer, arranger, and engineer kind of way.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I am mostly a computer musician now but I do enjoy playing live but just don't have the time anymore.
Your musical influences
There are many, many influences they include Pink Floyd, ELP, Kansas, Rush, Peter Gabriel, Beatles, BB King, Glen Miller, Alice in Chains, Styx, Santana, God Smack, Average White Band Black Sabbath, Jimmi Hendrix ....many more
What equipment do you use?
Fender 12 string acoustic,
Fender Strat (what else??)
Washburn 6 string electric,
Sonar, Fruityloops, Cooledit Pro, Wavelab, and tons and tons of plugins.
Anything else?
I hope anyone that listens will enjoy my music.
