I am classically trained in percussion but I specialized in the drums and have been teaching drums for over 30 years. I started of playing rock when I was 15 and graduated to progressive rock and then to fusion. When I later went back to college, I really got into jazz and fusion jazz like Weather Report, Ian Garbarek, Trilok Gurtu etc. That opened up many doors as to my musical spheres. I then started playing lots of fusion jazz. I never really thought about writing music but when I purchased my home recording studio, it inspired me to start writing. At first I tried writing jazz oriented material but that is not what came out. It was a tad frustrating as that was what I wanted to write. After a while, I realized that I had to go with what I heard and the rest is history.Band/artist history
I don't really have a history with this "band". I have been writing for over a year now and apart from my family and friends, this is the first time anyone has heard this music.Have you performed in front of an audience?I presently do not play live as this music is all written on a computer. I would love to one day have the opportunity of playing with musicians who are into this type of material.
Your musical influences
Like I mentioned before, there was Weather Report, Al Demiola, Lee Ritenour, Peter Gabriel, Trilok Gurtu, Ian Garbarek, Nusrat Fatih Ali Khan, Chick Corea but I am also an avid fan of classical music especially Beethoven, Chopin, Shubert, Scriabin and HaydnWhat equipment do you use?
I have a MacG5 as my processor, M-Audio ProjectMix as my control surface and I work on Logic Pro 8 with additional software from East-West and Kontact3. I use a Yamaha Portable Grand as my midi controller and that is pretty much it.
