Prototype Cute
Why are you here?
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Prototype Cute happened when I got a Powerbook. The machine was good enough to put to use my midi keyboard without a noticable lag, so I added synths to the music I was making. Basically I now have the opportunity to realise the ideas I have in a more complete manner than before.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Nope.

I Invite you to look real hard at the spaces between where you are and where you were.
