I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm an Abstract electronica/found and invented sound/live looping artist and producer living in Santa Cruz, California. I'm very interesting in promoting creativity and community and living the 'life examined'. I live with my wife close to downtown S.C. and am particularly fascinated with Abstract Electronica, Live Looping, IDM, Trip Hop, World Music, anything percussive (I've been a professional drummer/percussionist for many years), Sound Design and anything to do with trying to get 'outside of the box' artistically or socially. I firmly believe in compassion and try to adhere to something the Dalai Lama once said, "Ther is no Us and Them, there is only Us". ..

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

people interested in living the life examined and people who are willing to risk being creative publicly at a time when our culture eschews creativity.

Movies:

.. width="425" height="350" ..I have become fascinated with the little 30 second videos that my terrible Radio Shack digital camera takes. I found this fountain outside my hotel room at the NAMM show in Anaheim and it was so beautiful to me that I wrote a piece of music using samples from a broken music box that I manipulated. There are no special effects on the film. This is what my little 2 megapixel wonder saw. ..
