About Me

Craft:
musician, recording engineer
Instruments:
computer (mac), software, synthesizer, sampler, daw, drum machine, midi controller

I have absolutely no shame in my genre sluttiness, with a unifying theme of complex melody due to show-tunes abuse during childhood. My favorite artist of all time is Prefab Sprout, if that tells you anything, but don't let it tell you too much because I'm really all over the map.

Extended

Favorite Lyric:

Paddy wrote: "...Sinatra's been here, too", but I guess that's significant only in the context of "Hey Manhattan!" In any case, I almost never hear lyrics until I'm in love with everything else, and sometimes even then it takes months or years. I guess I get enough of words in the rest of my life.

Day Job:
audio software geek

Working With Others

How I Work:

Haphazardly and with great determination overcoming greater cluelessness. Would like to find a long-term collaborator or twelve. Money will not change hands between us, but I have no problem with selling the products of collaboration to someone else.

Experience:

I rely on my ears rather than what little formal training I received as a child and can no longer remember. Been messing around with this stuff a few years, ever since my day job made me realize it was possible. Were I born twenty years earlier, I guess I'd never have tried, and that would be tragic.

Equipment:
Mac, Reason, Logic, synth, sampler, DAW, drum machine, controller, MIDI
