Mister, would you please help my pony?
He's over there behind the tree
He's down in the dirt, would ya help him?
I think it's his lungMister would you please help my pony?
He's chewin' bark and not the leaves
He's cryin' like a baby, would you help him?
I think it's his lungMister, would you please help my pony?
He's down and he ain't gettin' up
He coughed up snot in the driveway
And I think his lung's fucked upPony, Pony, Pony
Mister, would you please help my pony?
I think it's his lungMister, would you please help my pony?
He's over there lookin' at me
He can't talk because he's a pony
I think it's his lung
- Day Job:
- Visual Artist
- How I Work:
I'm an untrained musician working intuitively while I pick up knowledge from various sources. I switched from using an Ensoniq ASR10 Keyboard for sampling and sequencing to using an AKAI MPC. As I'm making a little more sense of keys and scales I now favor using the sequencers chained together via MIDI, MPC as the master to the ASR and using the ASR mainly for keyboard sounds. I use a lot of samples and try to chop things up quite a bit so that my end results sound very different from their sources. I'm pretty good at coming up with simple things on the keys but I'm not a keyboard player so playing live is out of the question since I'm pretty performance averse in general. I can do some pretty simple cuts on the turntables but since I started focusing more on production those skills have definitely declined a bit. All my musical aptitude so far is basically in composition and arrangement, so home studio technology has been a real blessing for me.
- Experience:
I started doing this back in 1999 but soon afterward my visual art career started demanding all of my time. As of recently I'm finally in a situation where I have more time to return to these musical adventures and I'm having a great time with it.
- Equipment:
Turntables, Ensoniq ASR10, AKAI MPC2500, Pro Tools.

thanks a ton man, I really appreciate it! i'd love to hear some more of your work... we should definitely collab on something
I used an audio editor to cut up the vocals verse by verse then put everything into ableton live. that's a good idea putting everything without chopping anything! i shoulda' thought of that!
Hey L.C. thanks for checking out my remix and giving me some feedback, I really appreciate it! Definitely some parts of the process gave me some issues, what techniques / tools do you tend to use to sync in your vocal tracks?
GREAT remix, just gave you a vote. loved the guitars and the groove
