Working With Others

How I Work:

Naught without labor, but if music becomes "work", it's not where I want to be right now. I just want to interact with other musicians and create well-crafted original tunes that evoke emotions, jog memories, convey meaning, explore possibilities, or in some other way make the players and the audience feel a little more alive.

Experience:

Been playing along to the stereo since 7th grade (quite a few years ago). Thoroughly enjoyed junior high and high school concert and marching bands. Played in fraternity house bands "Spacial Fusion Blues and Boogie Woogie Band" and "Baganasti" during college. Played in local bar and festival band "Abraxas" in mid-90's. Miscellaneous live jams as the occasions arise. Looking to expand into electronic collaboration with a little help from my friends.

Equipment:

Vintage Slingerland Spirit 1000 acoustic 5-piece kit with additional Slingerland bass, floor tom, and mounted tom, two home-made "DuPont Drum" toms, and miscellaneous acoustic cymbals.

Acoustic CP conga, quinto, and bongo set; 5-piece set of wood temple blocks; pair of Matador timbales; 6-piece cowbell set; pair of agogos; rainstick, red LP jamblock, LP multi-guiro, egg shakers, tambourine, maracas, claves, LP mbwata udu drum; authentic Ghanaian djembe; wood tongue drum

Vintage Simmons SDS-8 5-piece electronic drums with original analog control board (while it lasts). New MIDI-capable electronic triggers for acoustic drums and one Roland CY-8 electronic cymbal pad, Akai MPD-24 pad controller, Yamaha PSR-E303 keyboard and Roland TD-6V electronic drum module.

Microphones: two SM-57's, Radio Shack Pro-3004 dynamic, MXL 990 large diaphragm condenser, MXL 991 pencil condenser, Realistic 33-1044 pencil condenser.

Behringer Eurorack MX-602A mixer, Fostex MR-8HD 8-track digital recorder; Edirol UA-20 USB/Audio Interface; Tracktion 2 DAW on Lenovo/IBM Thinkpad Core 2 Duo running Windows XP.

...and a partridge in a pear tree.
