Patrick Nolan
Eclectic instrumentals with tinges of jazz, blues, Latin, folk, and the odd electronic experiment. Nothing especially mind-boggling, but I have a good time.

Occasionally, I make noise with musical instruments. It's a relatively harmless hobby. I have never had a music lesson, and pride myself on being self-taught.
I can't really imagine anyone being interested in this music except for me, my mother, my wife, and my cat (and I suspect the cat is just being polite). But I have a good time, which is really all that matters.
Band/artist history
I've played the drums, in one way or another, for about 20 years, and dabbled with the guitar for about ten. Lately I'm trying to play the bass.
Like many young men of my age, class, and temperament, I played in bad rock bands while in high school. In college, I moved up in the world by playing in a bad jazz band. Talent, skill, and fame have steadfastly eluded me, but still I persist.
What equipment do you use?
Everything here was recorded in the spare bedroom of our apartment, using a Tascam Portastudio. I played all the instruments.
I played the music with Yamaha electric and bass guitars; Goya and Kima classical guitars (amplified with a Dean Markley piezo system); LP bongos and mini conga; assorted other percussion instruments including a bodhran, a riq, and a kalimba; a Rhythm Tech snare drum; a Boss DR-3 drum machine; and an antique Casiotone.
Most of the music was recorded with a single Teac dynamic microphone, either running directly into the Portastudio or pointed at a completely inadequate Crate guitar amplifier.
Effects and signal processing were minimal: I used an Arion digital delay on a few tracks (it will be obvious which ones) and sent the entire mix through a DBX compressor/gate. There is no reverb, no EQ, and no noise reduction. For the (mono) mixdown, I used a Toshiba laptop running Audacity audio software.
This is a photo of my bedroom setup from a few months ago. I have a bit more gear now, but it gives one the general idea:
