Greetings all.I get to write about myself... hmm, ok let's see...
Well, I started on the piano many years ago before I made the jump over to the guitar around age 13. Became totally obsessed with playing to the point that I quit playing hockey and as a Canadian, that's a big deal! :-)
After high school, I went to Humber College and studied Arranging/Composing. I played in a bunch of bands in the Toronto area, mostly weddings, corporate events, pubs... When our singer left for a gig on a cruise ship, I called it quits. Tired of being broke, got a job and put music on hold.
Today, we renovated an old victorian home and have opened a B&B called La Dolce Vita . The best part about the reno... I built a recording studio. So what you are hearing right now are various tracks I'm working on for a project called Arctic Reflections while I get used to pushing the buttons!
Arctic Reflections is a project for Christian Corbet , a friend of mine whose art is the inspiration for the music. This project went on hold as we finished the renovations for the B&B. Once we opened, I had figured I would have lots of time to record until the word got out. Well, I was wrong. The B&B has been busy ever since we opened June 1st 08.
So, now that the Fall has arrived, things are starting to slow down and a Baby Grand piano is on the way to the studio. The new plan is to re-record all the songs I had started with the Korg Triton. Hopefully it will have a more natural sound. Let me know if you like it. :-)
Cheers & thanks for stopping by.
Dave
