About Me

I like sounds. Funny sounds, scary sounds, intense sounds, soothing sounds, funky sounds, dark sounds, found sounds. Thats the basis for how I write music. I find sounds I like and I put them together. I'm a gear nerd myself so I thought I'd put a list of what I use up for all you other gear nerds out there. Rhodes seventy three key mark 1 stage piano, Kay upright bass, Fender precision electric bass, m-audio axiom 49 midi controller, m-audio fast track pro audio interface, ableton live 5, boss rc-20 loop station, line 6 bass pod effects processor and amp modeler, boss ds-1 distortion, boss re-20 space echo, glockenspiel, chopsticks on my tea kettle, pots and pans, crappy little kids sampling keyboard, ceramic hand drum, penny whistle. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

Man working on robot

The dark undertones and the machine like sounds of this one made me think of some mad scientist hunched over a robot for hours.

IMTHERADIO and Snowy metal rides

These were long distance collaborations with my friend Illoosend. We were in a band called microcosm a few years back, which was a mostly improv psychedelic rock band with seven members. When the band...
