Working With Others
- How I Work:
Looking for unique? Rates vary depending on scope of project. Very interested in film sound development and scoring. Will also do programming for Reactor, Reason / Recycle, and other module based software.
- Experience:
Recording and playing music for 27 years. Started with guitar at 13 which always involved recording the performances and later without the aid of traditional multitracking methods. Developed personal solutions to creating layered arrangements which involved multiple tape recorders, delay devices and performing along with them. For the last 9 years have worked with Sony / Sonic Foundry in various development capacities, various sessions and original music projects. For the last six years have been very active in the Gospel and Christian music industry including a recent appearance at the NAB Triennial in Estes Park CO and an upcoming project for a well known Gospel Artist.
- Equipment:
A hardware rig primarily for guitar processing which includes various looping delays and multi effects processors. All of which is "stirred together" on a 1604 VLZ Pro running six series in parallel which can all feed into each other for some pretty bizar
- Payments:
