This page was put up just for fun. It's a chronicle of my early personal endeavors in to the musical realm. Going back to as early as 1986.
It's all synth based, overly repetitive, sonic mush.
In some cases the original audience was intended not to be sober.
most of these "songs" are listenable, some are funny, the others ... you be the judge.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
When I was a wee tot, I was forced by the parental unit to take piano lessons.
Ive had some sort of portable keyboard my entire life. When I discovered MIDI at the tender age of 15 (1987) and from that point on I started building my "Studio".
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
A long time ago. Nowadays I only exist in the studio.
Your musical influences
The 80's
What equipment do you use?
The earliest generation of my studio was a Krumar Rhodes, 2 radio shack cassette recorders, mixer and a reverb. It progressed to Casio CZ, and CZ101, Roland E-20, Yamaha SY-75, QS 6,7,8. M1, s-770, a roland with like 300 knobs, EMU1 and proteus, Sr-16, R-8, K2000 Tascam 4 and 8 track cassette Decks, a Vestax 6 Track, Fostex R8, The PC used a Turtle Beach Tahiti, and then Tahiti with a Tropez Plus as a sampler, Roland MC-500, and onboard sequencers, Music Quest TRAX and Music Time, Then the Jump to Cakewalk Pro 4,(6,7,8,9 Sonar 1,2,3) and hardware dman2044, 2 X2044's, A Maxistudio ISIS, a full Dakota setup (which didnt work out for me at the time)with a Mackie SR24 back to a Terratec EWS88mt,2xEWS88mt with an Alesis Studio 32 (that also didnt work out for me) on to a Mackie 24*8 and 2 D-90s. Then the switch to 100% Digital with 3 Ews88Ds and a Roland VM-7200. A full acoustic studio complete with hand crafted custom drums. And a sweet 14 pad electric drum set with Roland and Alesis brains. Gigasampler, Reaktor, and P5 on 4 pcs. I'm sure there was other stuff that I'm forgetting, but that should give you the idea
I'm currently in a state of flux in building a new ground up facility to start working on some new stuff. Stay tuned (Sony DMX-r100 w RME madi and 2000Sqft in Q1 2005.)
Anything else?
enjoy!
