Joe Johnson
Using only a computer and mouse, various synths are used to produce the instruments, generally for hard rock/metal, moderate rhythm but loud 'punch' tunes. Instrumentals. A few jazz and softer. But mostly flat-out, loud rock.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Not live. All done with a workstation and a host of different software programs. Pure 'studio' work.
Your musical influences
Standard rock influences - Sabbath, Clapton, Hendrix, Allman, Skynyrd, Hatchet, SRV, GnR, Metallica, Van Halen, Sammy, just all the standard made famous by an industry that once worked. Jazz, from Miles, to Monk and Coltrane, Turrentine, Benson, Ellington's front men, so many. Blues, King, Waters, James, Hooker, and rock n roll Berry, Diddley, etc. I like Sutherland and Tebaldi, Callas and others. Various interests.
