I have been playing around with synthesizers since the late 80's. I was very much into some of the music from the 70's & esp. the 80's. I was actually really interested in synthesizers around 1981. I was pretty young at the time like approaching middle school age I believe and could not afford one. I guess strategic marketing worked on me. I remember watching one of my favorite 80's band's video on Music TeleVision which had the huge logo of the synthesizer company on it that the band was playing. I could not afford a Jupiter 8 which was the synthesizer in the above mentioned video so my first synthesizer was a used Roland Juno-106 and the first sequencer I used was an Alesis MMT-8. I still have the Juno-106 but have gotten rid of the MMT-8. I was really into synthesis just before the time when sample playback synths were really starting to come into the market. I enjoyed creating new sounds and being inspired by those sounds to write music. This was the late 80's into the very early 90's. Now here we are in 2008. I still like playing around with synths but it is incredible to me how accessible music is for anyone to "Create" something using just a computer and a simple controller. I still use mainly hardware gear. All of my Synthesizers are hardware but I do now use a computer for MIDI multitracking. I do not miss the days of 8-track confinement w/ the MMT-8. I have made music for TV commercials about 10 years ago but have moved in a different direction for now.

These Messages are on myspace: http://www.myspace.com/thesemessages We seek an electric guitarist that can play rhythm and some leads when needed. Besides writing/playing originals we will play a few covers. The guitarist should have the same or similar influences (see our myspace). We are an electronic band utilizing synthesizers, drums, and MIDI sequences for song writing and performing. We are not a guitar band but our vision is similar to bands that use both synths and guitars like Duran Duran, Foreigner, Depeche Mode, Etc. We plan on completing more material and want to play local venues. If you are interested feel free to contact us about coming out on Saturday, January 17, between 1pm-3pm. Thank you, -These Messages
