Welcome to my little bit of turf on MySpace. What I’m about is music music and more music. I write perform and record as The Brain Transfer Project. The tunes you hear on this site are just a taste of what is on my new CD "Dig Deeper†on Oblectic Records, available at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/braintransfer to own some aural bliss..........
I love electronic music, but much of it seems sterile and lifeless to me †I need to hear that human touch in anything I listen to.
Just as much as the electro, so I am deeply crazed about non-western music †especially from India and the Middle East.
If you are open to new music that combines electronic sounds, drums from all over the world, flute, sax, guitar and trumpet †this may be the place for you.
On my website you can get a lot more information about why and how I produce my sounds, and if you are a musician you may be interested in my songwriting blog. I also have a lot of links to other interesting music oriented places on the web.
I am way open to comments about any aspect of the music I make, or most any music for that matter.Band/artist history
My first instrument was trumpet when I was seven years old, inspired to play what my Dad had played; at thirteen I started playing folk guitar like every other Dylan wanna-be, then studied classical guitar, and finally, electric guitar.
The man.... Woodaman!
I played way pre-grunge punk with the seminal Seattle band The Shivers, then moved to San Francisco where I formed Social Fabric, another original rock band and in the early 80's joined the gothic band Fade to Black.
Shortly thereafter I played tenor saxophone for the "lounge band from the Kansas City of Hell", Bohemian Love Jones. The last full time band I performed with was the Lawn Vultures, San Francisco's favorite off the wall cover band in the late 80's.
I now live in Portland Oregon where I try to write as much music as I can in my basement studio, the Operating Room, and keep my chops up on all the instruments I play: guitar, sax, trumpet keyboards, sahna (Chinese oboe), and accordion. Oh yeah, I sing too.
One other project I hope to get off the ground is to put up a selection of the things I have been working on for the last twenty years, a sort of one-mans' history of music.Have you performed in front of an audience?Not with this solo project, yet.
Your musical influences
Miles Davis, Captain Beefheart, Chet Baker, Kraftwerk, Duke Ellington, Dick Dale, Loop Guru, Ravi Shankar, lots of Dub artisits, Stereolab, F.S.O.L, Aphex Twin (well, the ambient stuff anyway), Orbital, Higher Intelligence Agency, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Portishead, Umm Kulthum, plus all kinds of non-western music, especially Indian classical music and rhythms from the middle east and Bali....its an endless list.What equipment do you use?
'58 Fender Jazzmaster, with the worlds best guitar neck, Harmony Monterey, Martin Tenor Sax, Getzen trumpet, Chinese Sahna, Selmer flute, Spirit mixer, Sonar, Project 5, Reaktor, Battery, Kontakt, lots of mics and misc stuff. Really its mostly my ears, like any musician, eh?PROJECT 5
