Tom the Mucus Torturer

To the completely insane, the sane man must appear insane.

About Me

I'm the guitarist and founding member for the bands Mucus Membrane (death metal) and Skulldozer (thrash metal) both hailing from Northern California. I'm also a total computer geek and make my living writing code for one of the coolest companies on the face of the planet, Digidesign! We make integrated hardware and software that's used for recording music as well as the soundtracks for movies, TV shows, radio broadcasts, etc... and we have won a Grammy and an Oscar in the last few years for technical innovation.

I also like to pretend I can record and mix music myself and have a pretty decent home recording studio. In fact I recorded the brand new Mucus Membrane CD "Shades Below" now out on Hammermill records entirely in my studio.

The high expectations of a control freak

I recently found out that all of the former members of Mucus, including one current member, think I'm a control freak. As anyone I've ever jammed with can atest to, that's probably really close to the...
