Mid Life Crisis
I played all the instruments. I had a hard time finding musicians that I could really depend on so I decided to do all the parts myself. Maybe one day I'll find some people to do a project with. It's a lot more fun when you've got a real band though. But for now , it's just me. I hope you enjoy it as much as i do.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
The band started as just a concept at first. Then I purchased the Cakewalk MCpro24 and things just escalated from there. I Have played in a few heavy metal bands, original metal and rock bands , contemporary and Hawaiian bands and even done a couple of Instrumental solo work. Now I am into creating my own music that allows me to play all the instruments myself in my home studio.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes I do play live but with other musicians that play covers for money. It's a cool job but not what I really want to play.
Your musical influences
I like a variety of music. But i was heavily into Megadeth,Marty Friedman,Joe Satriani, Carlos Santana, Tony Macalpine, Steve Vai. They influenced me the most. I am always trying to learn more and improve my playing.
What equipment do you use?
I use Jackson, Ibanez, and Charvel electric guitars. Boss V-wah, GT-3 effects, Zoom amp modelers for guitars and Aria Pro bass. Korg D3200 , Schecter Guitars.
Anything else?
Sound effects were created with a MD-1700 key board. I used a Yamaha DD-55 Digital drum for percussions. I sometimes use a Mesa Boogie MkIII half stack. Most of the stuff was recorded in my living room when every one is asleep.
