Band/artist history
I started recording solo a little less than a year ago. I have finished 3 CDs. - Last Trick On Two - Chamber Of Solitude - Under The Tree Insanity Last Trick is pretty much the most straight forward of the three. 13 songs including 1 re-mix. I would say it is my favorite, most consistant and catchy. Chamber of Solitude was a concept album. Wanted to get away from writing the same old whiney lyrics but found myself coming back to the all too familiar topics. I believe Sleep has to be the best song I have ever recorded. 9 songs ranging from acoustic/vocals to death metal. Under the Tree Insanity has 8 songs, all acoustic with the exeption of 2 songs. Has sort of a trance type feel throughout the fist 5 songs, with lots of back ground vocals creating sort of an orchastra. Also includes a cover of Hayden's "My Parents House"
Have you performed in front of an audience?
No not anymore. Used to, when I was in Unearthed, collapse, Leprosy, and Conspiracy. All Ventura, Ca. based bands that played mostly in S. Cal. with a few west coast tours. I did like playing live and would do it again if the circumstances were right. It is difficult though since all of the people that I would like to play with are on the opposite side of the country now.
Your musical influences
My influences are pretty much all over the place and it shows in my music. Tori Amos, Hayden, Type O Negative, King Diamond, Korn, Leprosy, Deftones, The Beetles, Morbid Angel, George Lynch, 80's metal was the fountation.
What equipment do you use?
Ibanez electric guitar. Takamine acoustic electric guitar. Vantage bass guitar Zoom MRT-3 drum machine TASCAM 788 digital 8-track recorder Shure Mic
Anything else?
Some words that I try to live by but can't "Base not your joy opon the deeds of others, for what is given can be taken away. NO HOPE=NO FEAR." -Peter Steel
