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.
INTERESTS
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.
