About Me

MyGen Profile Generator

These songs were recorded alone in my home, using some rather primitive equipment, a few years ago. I've been underground for a few years, but the music is very insistent that I return, so look for new songs in a few months. I'm slowly but surely building a studio.
If you're interested in how these songs were recorded, here's an overview. I was using an analog Tascam 4-track recorder, an effects processor, a $50 classical guitar, a dumbek, a Shure SM-58 mic, and various household objects.
If you want to hear an obscure garage band I used to sing with, check out Kulmandu .
