cars & trains is Tom Filepp, raised amidst the spastic anti-planning of metro-area New York strip malls. His songs result from a severe love/hate relationship with computers. His methods jump between the analog and digital, polish and grit. As technology crashes and freezes, Tom inevitably picks up the mandolin or glockenspiel from a horde of random instruments. Simple *plinks* and *plonks* of things made of wood and toy plastic counter balance the laptop’s *clicks* and *pops*. Sounds are collected constantly, compiled, cut up into concise morsels, then put back together out of order creating small places which exist no where else.Have you performed in front of an audience?all over the place..

not to mention wonderful producers like the beach boys, the microphones...flaming lips..
and of course, all kinds of jazz..What equipment do you use?
all kinds of synths, drum pads, glockenspeils, trumpets, clarinets, guitars and basses, and pots and pans...
