I am just a guy who has too much free time on his hands. My music is made via pc using programs like ACID, by Sonic Foundry Inc. Hey, I know it isn't the best, but as an ersatz musician, who has no musical abilities whatsoever; well, it makes me happy.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I started doing this in 1999, and originally titled myself as 'no hope for me.' My original compositions(and I use that word lightly) were pretty lame but eventually led me to where I am at today. Some may say that I am still nowhere, and that is fine... I just like trying to make songs out of little loops and soundbites.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Actually, when mp3.com was still up and running, I did receive an offer from someone to play live... they just didn't get it!
Your musical influences
A mixture really: primarily smooth jazz: dave koz, rippingtons, yellowjackets, etc... However some of my songs have very heavy bass and drum lines, whose origins I am not sure of. I just like the sound!
