Ken Dixon
Lonely Llama Music was so named because I frequently work alone. Not because I'm an unfriendly sort, but because my closest neighbors are deer, bears and such. I wear lots of hats on my projects: Producer, Writer, Engineer, O yeah-Musician, Publicist. This does carry the significant benefit of allowing one to work in one's underwear at 0300. I do, however, depend on good friends like Craig Bartock who Co-Produced and displayed his considerable performance talent on "Phanta Morgana", to supply me with the necessary reality checks...sometimes (infrequently, but on occasion), a bagpipe is just uncalled for.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?

Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I've never tried playing dead. I'm not a bloody opossum! But perhaps I'll give that a go one day.
Your musical influences
Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Super Furry Animals, Fountains of Wayne, Eels, The Flaming Lips
What equipment do you use?
Les Paul, Line 6 Variax, Gibson Explorer, Guild F-50 Acoustic, and Guild B-30 Bass, Kawai Keyboards, ProTools, and a 25 centrifuge cascade plutonium enrichment facility. Just a moment, please. There are some men at the door...Oh, nice sunglasses!
Anything else?
According to Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, the faster you talk about your relatives, the younger and, therefore, more "special " they become. I suggest taking the Einstein-Rosen Bridge just out of Boston and trying to guess where you'll end up. Makes for an interesting weekend.
