Favorite Lyric:

You say I took the Name in vain
I don't even know the Name
But if I did, well really, what's it to ya?
There's a blaze of light in every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken hallelujah
--Leonard Cohen

Working With Others

How I Work:

I'm really interested in collaborating with others, particularly artists outside of my own musical traditions, both for commercial and non-commercial projects. I really like the idea of working with hip-hop artists to fuse hip-hop, rock and electronica into something vibrant and interesting. I love making beats and creating new sounds and tones. I'm also a better than average lyricist, if I do say so myself.

Experience:

Lots of time in the bedroom studio. Live performance in various coffeeshops and bars all over the Western US. 15+ years playing and writing music.

Equipment:

Laptop, Propellerheads Reason, Logic Express, M-Audio Firewire 410 audio interface, Korg MicroKontrol keyboard, Fatar 88 key weighted controller, M-Audio TriggerFinger drumpad, acoustic and electric guitars, electric bass, various hand drums. A plastic grade school-era recorder flute thingy. A big brain.
