Not much uploading for the moment.  I'm currently building some keyboard skills -- adding new tools.  As the snow starts to clear up, I'll get out and do some jamming and put together some more tracks.

Band/artist history

My musical background is self taught.  Started with Baroque.  I can read music, but after a couple of years realized that I'd never sight read well enough to enjoy consort playing.

Switched to Irish folk.  Got pretty good at it -- nothing like a good Irish session -- but the Riverdance thing kind of worked that into the ground. Moved on to blues harp; enjoyed that but wanted more flexibility.

I settled on windsynth which gave me all the cool synth options with a sax woodwind style controller.  Plus, it weirds out old blues guys in bars.

I was recently playing with The Jumblies at the usual Boston bars.  They've culled out the synth sounds, so I'm back on my own for a while.

I study Jazz off and on.  Ultimately Jazz is everything.

Have you performed in front of an audience?

I like playing live. My primary instrument the Yamaha WX-5 wind controller with the VL70m synth.

Your musical influences

Noodles.  I like to noodle around with music.  I put together electronica like pasting macaroni to a box.

Beyond that, I am exceptionally thankful for artists like Tomita and Wendy Carlos who pioneered the sounds I loved as a young adult; Enya and Loreena McKennitt for the spirit they create in their music; and to Davy Spillane for the emotions he creates with an Irish air.

What equipment do you use?

WX-5 + VL70-m Windsynth
Buzzmachines
Cakewalk
Cool Edit 2000

i am pleasantly surprised by how much sheer awesomeness you pack into every track. it's just bursting with niceness and pleasant-to-listen-to-ability. fantriasmic!

Thanks to a thread on the forum (about the silly "Crazy Floppers" that strikes around), I could find your music. I started with "Satellite" and loved it. I really like your style, and will surely come back... and HOT many of your songs, since I just love your music!!! :-)

Great trackz in here !

Best Wishes

Thank you Arconna. I have remixed Shibari to mellow out the high end quite a bit.

Listening to the newest one there you did with the dreamstation.  It has soothing parts indeed, though that high pitched noise that is apreggiated really takes away from that easy going feel.  It's hard to listen two I thought, but that's me.  I think the only thing is the sound you used, not the register it is playing at.  Consider changing it perhaps.
Very good music I think for yoga and what not, which is probably what you intend to use it for.  I know where to go should I try yoga one day ;).
If you haven't already, give my stuff a listen,
Peace :)
