Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I have been doing bits and pieces of music for years, but in 2000 I bought Sonic Foundry's Acid Rock program and began posting songs at Acid Planet...currently I have almost 300 songs there and rank pretty high in the "Top Artists" list they maintain. I expect to keep doing this as long as I can, and expand as much as possible. I think I have come a long way from my first tentative postings there.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Currently no live dates are planned. I have terminal stage fright.
Your musical influences
Oh my gosh...I am influenced by everything, the list would be too long to put here. I will say that Classic Rock and Blues have been my greatest influences in forming my core. Ambient music ala "Tangerine Dream" is another influence. Pink Floyd..the Beatles..Elvis..Dream theatre..Oasys..The Cars....see...it gos on and on. I also am greatly influenced by the great artists of The Acid Exchange...Black Ether..Sonic Dave(Sonic Epiphany)..A Pleasant Symetery..Dave Bluesman Delux..Dave Bell.....well there are too many in the guild to write here, but all of 'em are an influence on what I do.
What equipment do you use?
I use a PC I built, an electronic keyboard,various hand drums, tamborine, kazoo, some hand drums, a Behringer studio mic, and several software programs...Acid Music 4 . Fruity Loops (silly name) , Reason, Magix Music Maker, Sound Forge8 and anything else I can get my hands on.
Anything else?
I just want to say thank you to all the people that take the time to listen to me. And to plug "The Acid Exchange" which has a wonderful eclectic 2 CD set available at CDBaby.com http://cdbaby.com/cd/theacidexchange 23 artists on a 2 CD set....awesome.
