Thank you for visiting my music page.
I began writing my own music because I am self taught and couldn't read music. I have always appreciated the unique tonal nature of the guitar. I would simply write the words and chords, and try to remember the melodies.
Having an extensive computer background I decided to create my own garage style studio and produce my music on the computer as sample demos. So, these are not professionally produced recordings. I am not a singer, just a writer creator. Every work was recorded on computer using various versions of Cakewalk with acoustic or electric guitar while experimenting with many synthesized sounds. I offer these works to those who can appreciate them with their imperfections.Band/artist history
When I grew up I was a fanatic about sports and I never took music lessons. I have also never played in a band or tried to play my music in front of anyone. I consider myself more of a songwriter, so my band history is zero.Have you performed in front of an audience?No.
Your musical influences
The music that influenced me most was from artist like Bob Dylan and 60's rock. That may be why I hold such a high regard for the magic of words and melodies in tandem to fully express the human experience. There are a lot of great singers and musicians, but words and music are a unique creation. I enjoy that satisfaction.What equipment do you use?
Vintage 1974 Ovation Sunburst and Epiphone Les Paul electric. Cakewalk home studio 7. M-Audio interface.Anything else?
These works are a part of an album set entitled it's not about me, volume 1 and 2, listed in the copyright office under this title. Altogether, I have about fifty works completed, of which I have updated about forty. At this time, I am only releasing some of the singles as sample demos.Admin
