About Me

..if you're reading then I'm writing...Been recording all my life..playing with sounds from pinball machines, to the engine on my Toyota about to throw a rod.. to voice.My passion is sound...looping, found sounds, foley..music sweet music and a bit of intricate cacaphony. What's on here is pretty straight forward stuff. I've been recording for years using anything but regular instruments. I would loop the weedwhacker from the neighbors yard, the espresso machine..find the key and loop a vocal around it. And did I mention my beautiful husband?

School Dance

So I've got a baby PA, so I've been roped into dj-ing the 5th grade dance. If you want a challenge...try finding decent music without cuss words or inunendos! I'm actually really impressed with a com...

Music for Jury Duty

I've been sitting here since 8am and I am so grateful for being able to bring a laptop. It's a lot like sitting in an airport ---where your flight is delayed for 8 hours and you always have one ear ou...

Fought with the MO-6...finally figured out the sequencing..uh..sequence with regards to all of the assignments and button-pushing. Created a half-decent pattern with some awesome sounds just to have t...
