On these songs, I play all of the instruments: Guitars, Bass, Drums, Vocals, (except where special guests appear), and I also Mix & Master them.
I became interested in recording at a very young age. It all started when my Father gave me a portable reel-to-reel recorder and a box of reel tapes to play with, and once I figured out how to work it & what it did, I was recording everything.... Family singing around the Piano, TV shows like the Muppets, conversations that people would have, outdoor sounds, storms, and just about anything that I could think of.
Then I went to cassette tape decks, Playing the original recording on one deck, creating new sounds along with it while it was playing, and recording the results onto another tape deck. This was very handy when I started to play Musical Instruments
The discovery of self contained Multi-Track Recorders, put and end to the maddness, and opened up a whole new perspective on recording and mixing.
Now... Computer based Software recording is awesome, no more extra tape decks, tapes, etc.
I've always been driven by the power of music, and was very determined to learn how to play guitar, bass, & drums. Now, when I get an idea for a song, I have the tools at hand to feed my creativity :-)
I've played in bands through the years, but for now I'm into creating my own music, and recording for other Musicians
