I am a solo composer/instrumentalist working out of a self-built "Project Studio" in my home. Though I often play acoustic instruments, everything I do goes through my computer DAW. I am very ecclectic in musical taste and my compositons vary greatly depending on subject. I like to think of myself as a musical character-actor, adapting as needed to make my statment.Band/artist history
-.Have you performed in front of an audience?I have played in various bands in the past and, for awhile, performed as solo acoutic guitarist in the CA bay area. My favorite performance memories are with the "Acoutic Cafe" program that I ran for three years at LaBodega in San Francisco.

I love rich chords and unusual song structure. I try to make every note count and labor a long time over small things. My musical influences are quite varied, but here's some FAVs.
- Stravinsky.
- Hendrix.
- Debussy.
- Coltrane.
- Nilsson.
- Miles.
- Beatles.What equipment do you use?
