Things I Enjoy
I can't tell you that !?!
Pet Peeves
Pseudo-enlightenment.
That's right. I just made that up...
My life revolves around sound. Music and rhythm. Drums from around the world, and synthesizers.
I've been playing acoustic and electric drums and percussion for over 25 years. I would love to get involved with musicians who are in to eclectic, ambient, progressive, rhythmic styles of music.
More conga, more shakers and definitely more cowbell!
The Roland Handsonic HPD-10 is incredible. Wow!
Heavily influenced by progressive rock and world music.
I've been working with fractal art using Apophysis. This stuff affects me on a subconcious level.
If you would like to use any of my art (for free), just ask. I'd love to see someone use one of my fractals as their album cover or logo.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention spicy food. Peppers are my (legal) drug of choice... the spicier the better. If I start sweating and/or hallucinating, it's spicy enough.
HOBBIES
Sound Engineering for bands, live & studio
("Head First Audio" is my biz name)
I produce a local, live music TV show,
"Live from Studio A"
on Charter ch's 9 & 15. Always looking for original local bands.
Drumming whenever possible. Playing with echoes and Loopstation.
Lately I've been recording using a program called "Reaper". This program is awesome. I now have access to synthesizers costing hundreds of dollars for free.
Playing guitar for fun.

Hey Marty, I had to remove you from my email list (on my other email address book) cause it kept coming back undeliverable. Can you email me at liz-greg@ashlandhome.net so I can add you again. Cheers, Liz
nice comment! :-) Thanks, haha! Ah, I just read Eat, Love, Pray (not a fave, but definitely readable). And talked to the mormons for 20 minutes yesterday. I'm academically an anthropologist, interested in it all man, but "agnostic" is a word that I dislike more than anything. SO be it. Did you really wanna know :-)
Nancy Bloom here...I am so delighted that you love my music and think it sounds like Robbie Robertson...he's one of my heroes, his album The Native Americans
is one of my all time favorites! On another note, I so honor your work on my TV Shows, any chance you might be able to direct or assist May 2,
Friday 4:30 crew call, 6-7 go live, or May 31st a Saturday shoot? Glad to give you one or both CD's for all your help!
