The Bird Tribe is a one-man band, in which I play and mix the instruments - much like Enya, but not as well! She's great!
Our first of seven albums was "In Search of the Bird Tribes", which is based on ancient Native American legends. It tells a story, much like Rick Wakeman's "Journey to the Center of the Earth."
We're halfway through making an online movie of the whole album and will be posting it here as well as several others places.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Because it's studio-generated, I don't play life. Too complicated.
Your musical influences
Pink Floyd, Ray Charles, Enya, great movie themes, The Moody Blues, Kansas, Bonnie Tyler, Jefferson Starship, Heart, Alan Parsons Project ... there are SO many!
What equipment do you use?
AKAI drumpad, various MIDI keyboards, an old acoustic guitar, Windows/Mac synthesizer and sequencing/editing programs like Audacity, CoolEdit Pro.
For videos I use MovieMaker and Serif Movie Plus as well as several other programs for tweaking video codecs, etc.
Anything else?
I design CD covers, websites and anything graphically connected to music, as well as mastering work for other musicians like my friend, tommie rose. I do this to help care for my wife, who has severe arthritis and has had two strokes - I need to be with her 24/7 to care for her, so I work from home.
If you like my work and need some for yourself, contact me.
