This is a solo project by me, Rick Waters. I play all the instruments, which include guitars, bass, elec. and acoustic violins, keyboard, mandolin, dijembes, and sometimes vocals. I am currently doing this to work on a sort of "resume" so that I may one day become a record producer... Please show your support. Nothing makes me happier than to hear a person comment on my music.
Band/artist history
I just started doing this because I was bored. I have been playing violin since I was four, and got back into it 3 years ago after I quit it my senior year of high school. The guitar has been my love since I was sixteen. The other instruments just came naturally: the bass because it is similiar to a guitar, and the mandolin, because it has the same tuning as a violin. I played an older version of one of my songs to my friends and they were all really impressed, so that is what keeps me going. The feeling you get when a suprised look appears on a new listener's face because they realize that you can actually do this, and are not pretending...
Have you performed in front of an audience?
No, this is a studio thing for me. But if you need me to serenade you, all you have to do is ask, and be a really hot woman...
Your musical influences
I have alot of respect for Tool and NIN, because their studio work is just incredible. And Incubus is also a big influence in alot of my work, especially the percussion.
What equipment do you use?
Epiphone Les Paul Standard Ovation LX1777 Acoustic/Electric Jurgenmeyer Electric Violin Jerome Welner Violin Grand 5-string Elec. Bass Fender Electric Mandolin (which is my friend Jesse's) M-Audio StudioPro 4 speakers M-Audio Firewire Solo recording interface Logic Express 7 iDrum drum machine software Digitech RP200A multi-fx pedal, Shure SM58 microphone Samson CH700 Studio reference headphones Boss MD-2 pedal and small and medium dijembes. (I better get some hook-ups for sponsoring this stuff..haha!) I wish I had a drum set, but for now, the dijembes will do.
Anything else?
Feedback welcome. I have come so far thanks to the help of my friends and their comments. Your can only make me stronger.
