Here's a link to an interview I did recently for allabout jazz that explains it better than I can: http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=31750

And...here's a link to an incredible video that a brilliant fellow named Steve McQuillen put together for the Sursiks' song "Little Paper Airplanes": (warning: strong language)

I've been writing and recording music since around 1980. During that time I have never ceased trying to do things which have not yet been done. For the past few years, I've focused on the transformation of speech into music. I use no special software to do this, just my ears.
My main instruments are drums, percussion (especially marimba), piano (keyboards), guitar and bass...I'm also an OK theramin player. I can WRITE parts for any instrument or combination of instruments, however. I know quite a few great jazz/orchestral musicians in the Detroit area who regularily come over and record.
I've written for just about any ensemble you can imagine...(rock, funk, reggae/ska, blues, marching band, concert band, country, electronic, experimental, symphony orchestra, string quartet, woodwind quintet, big band, gamelan ensemble...to name a few) ,composed, arranged & recorded music for video games, educational software, commercials, short films, art shows and various other things.
I've released many independent recordings (since 2004) under the names: The Sursiks, Oven Mitt Johnson, The 180 Gs and Zermos. I was the guitarist and principal songwriter for the Detroit ska band "Gangster Fun" (1986-2000). I'm always up for paying work or interesting projects to work on!

I have a pretty decent studio at home. I play everything that doesn't require a mouthpiece or a bow. I write out parts for some outstanding musician friends of mine and have them come in and play. I also have 3 day jobs and 3 children under the age of 10...so...I work whenever I can. If it's a paying job, I always manage to get it done right and before the deadline.
