dcallen is just me and my computer and a couple serious software programs. I compose music for pure enjoyment. I write what I like and if someone else enjoys it, that's just a bonus.
no, I don't play live and I try to write music that couldn't be played live.
I've had a variety of influences, but my compositions seem to lean toward Tangerine Dream, Alan Parsons Project, etc.
All my music is created on a Dell Precision WorkStation 690 (with 2 dual-core Xeon processors), E-MU 1820m soundcard, with Sonar 7 Producer Edition, Reason 4, Native Instruments Komplete 4, and Project5 software, and the awesome Access Virus TI Polar synth.
