Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Started on the violin - hit puberty and got a guitar. High school bands. Then computers and recording.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
No live performances. Just writing and studio work.
Your musical influences
Almost everything i've ever heard except "random jazz". Most things I've liked right away like Alan Parsons - Dire Straits - Jean Michel Jarre - Bach - etc. What I find more interesting are those that took a while to sink in - years sometimes - Bob Dylan - Jimi Hendrix - Roy Orbison.
What equipment do you use?
Keyboards - 2 Korgs - the old M1 and the Karma
Audio-technica mike to dbx mic preamp
Delta 1010 outboard soundcard - lots of guitars and a Fender amp
Mix to Event PS8 near fields and big Cerwin Vegas and a couple of other environments in final stages
Anything else?
