Band/artist history
I started playing guitar when i was 5 or 7, i dont really remember that far back, but have photographs as proof. i eventually joined and helped form the death metal group "Sorrow" in 1988. We released 2 demo tapes, a 7-inch record on Relapse records, got signed to Roadrunner records(King Diamond,Sepultura etc..)and released 2 albums, or "cd's" as they are called today. "Forgotten Sunrise" in 1991 and "Hatred and Disgust" in 1992. The band broke up because of various reasons and i went on jamming with other musicians. After many failed "musical marriages", i have finally found happiness making music on my own using my computer. I believe that the excitment of using this method to get my thoughts expressed musically will keep me happy for many years to come.
Your musical influences
my initial influence is Jason Becker. He is a guitarist who has ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or Lou Gehrig's disease) and cannot play guitar anymore. After the disease affected him, he released an album and i wondered how. i read an interview where he said he used a computer program to record the music. He said it made it easier for him and since then, i was looking for this program. the programs today have changed drastically and have become easier and more confusing at the same time, but recording a few songs, you become more comfortable with the programs. my songwriting mood changes often, this is why you will hear many different influences in my music. but if i was to list just one, i 'd have to say Chromakey is a huge influence.
What equipment do you use?
All of this music is digitally recorded using Sonar3 producer edition. Each song has a listing of the instruments that I used in it and what program was used to record it. Within the Sonar3 program, i add effects and finish the song. i plug into a Mackie 1604-VLZ mixer. i use a home-built computer.... ASUS P4T-E motherboard, 2.2 ghz P4 processor, 512 mb RDRAM, (2)80Gb 7200rpm western digital hard drives, (2)delta 1010 soundcards. my instruments include a 7-string Ibanez 7600, BC RICH 6-string gunslinger, Marchione 6-string, ENSONIQ SQ-1 keyboard, DR-770 drum machine, 5-string SAMMICK bass, 1-rackmount Pod pro.
