Hi, This is song writing for fun and to enjoy the ability to make music just to make music.
Band/artist history
I was exposed to the back of a Martin guitar in utero. I picked up my first instrument when I was 19 and haven't put it down since.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Coffey Shops here and there. I mostly like to sit on benches in parks although I can be found on piers and beaches in the summer.
Your musical influences
Bruce Lee... He Didn't play any instruments that I know of, but he developed this philosophy of universal incorporation that allowed for a fighter to take from all styles and make them a part of his/her art. I suck at martial arts, but as an artist in music, I saw the wisdom and beauty in this idea of universality. A bassist thinks diffrently from a guitarest and a keyboard player will scratch their head when confronted with a hammerd dulcimer. (Of course, the key person will sample it, but they won't really get it!) By studying all forms of music I can pick and choose and implement my song in ways that best suit their meaning and projection of feeling. Why not Heavy Metal mandolins in a dance song. How 'bout a rennasance' alto recorder over a mellow Jazz track. Or placing a delayed bass behind a slow air or folk song?
What equipment do you use?
Acoustic, Electric, Resonator, Classical, Guitars of low breeding. (Read Cheap.) Bouzouki,Octave, Standard Mandolins. Viola, Violin.Cello Bass, Mobius ToneWeaver Clarinet, Flute, Misc. Reeds, Whistles, Ochrainas ...and many more. All recorded through a very unreliable computer Using Audacity (The coolest FREE recording software.) and Magix audio studio, (The best CHEAP recording software.) I use Behringer boards and DSP's for routing and processing. Korg guitar effects and Drum machines. The Original Yahama DJX (It's the most over built toy keyboard ever.) Ikg Samples Alesis Air Synth. Free Virtual instruments from 'KVR audio com'
Anything else?
No sucky song promise. Not every one likes everything and that can't be helped. However, a general consensus can be reached. Before a song goes up it has to pass a twenty person suck test if it averages less than 80% I put the song in the garbage.
