About Me

..In the cozy corners of Budd Lake, NJ, there stands a small cottage surrounded by lush gardens. In the depths of this hive, working under piles of random instruments, someone plugs away mysteriously at a lowly eight track cassette recorder. Melodies hummed onto tape recorders or sung into voicemail systems are transformed into three to four minute bursts of energy, documented for posterity on Maxell XLII 90 minute tapes. And he laughs.
