Music:
...so you want to know what I think about music, eh? Well, I am currently singing, programming, and sampling for my band Cartoon Autopsy (www.myspace.com/cartoonautopsy). I also do solo work composing music for haunted attraction soundtracks, which is why I originally got started programming music. My music has been featured in three different haunted attractions in Tennesse during the 2006 haunt season. You can message me if you'd like details on such a project for your own haunted attraction.
Other bands I've been in include Maximum Security (vocals), The Incision (Now known as 'ReLight') (vocals), Halloween Weather (programming), Angel Tranquilizer (programming), AHC... no, not that AHC... (back-up vocals), and SkyGate (custom percussion).
The following are albums that stand out as those that powered me through Haunt throughout the years...
2000 "L.D. 50" - Mudvayne
2001 "Anarchists of Good Taste" - Dog Fashion Disco
2002 "The War of Art" - American Head Charge
2003 "Broke" - (hed)P.E.
2004 "As The Palaces Burn" - Lamb of God

Some of you sharper kids out there might have noticed I've got a lot of hip hop and rap listed. You might be thinking "Oh, he's just joking,". Trust me, not hardly. I grew up with a lot of black and hispanic friends, (L.A. county public schools, my friends), so their musical tastes have rubbed off on me over the years.
