Just a musician/writer looking for an outlet.....Band/artist history
Started playing saxophone at age 10, progressed quickly and by the high school was member of Michigan State Band and Orchestra Association All-State Orchestra and Jazz Band. Studied for BA in Music Education with a Woodwind Performance minor at Aquinas College, but left after sophomore year to join the United States Air Force (where I am currently gigging as a weather forecaster - hey, it has been interesting and it pays the bills! I couldn't see myself being happy as a public school band director - though I had a couple of great ones). My main instrument these days is guitar, but I also play keyboards, bass, and sax (though much less of that these days). I write original music and put my own arrangement spins on certain covers.Have you performed in front of an audience?Not currently playing out....
Your musical influences
I've played in everything from R&B/Funk bands, to rock bands, to jazz quartets, to country bands - so my tastes and influences are pretty ecclectic, but the period that I draw the most influence from is the 70's and 80's, specifically the progressive rock bands from that period. I still listen to a TON of jazz, lately mostly small group jazz from the late 40s through early 60s.What equipment do you use?
Cubase VST32 and Cakewalk Sonar are my main recording platforms.
Keys/syths/samplers include Alesis QuadraSynth+ and QSR module (both expanded), IK Media SampleTank, and CreamWare Pulsar II.
