So who is this Brian guy, anyhow? Well, that's a long story! Or maybe not...
Firstly, I live to serve the greatest artist of all, the One who designed the universe. I have put my faith, my trust, and my life in Jesus Christ, and it's been quite a ride.
I'm a artistic engineer. Sound impossible? Yeah, public school tried to teach me that right brain / left brain junk, and after 16 years of "formal" education I was pretty convinced that there were serious things wrong with me. Maybe that's still true, but I'm an engineer AND an artist, and the experts were wrong. Don't believe me? Technical and creative mixing? Was not the rennaisance the awakening of artistic creation to the western world? And was not one of the greatest period artists also the most forward-thinking designer of the age? Yep. So, I've reconciled with myself and decided I CAN be both. (ask me sometime why Einstein's theory is mis-understood when people say nothing can exceed the speed of light...)
I love music. I love all expressions of art, but music is the one that moves me the most. Visual arts, like painting and photography, do allot for me, too, but my greatest passion is music. Music is a way to communicate what I'm feeling in such a way that just maybe we can actually understand each other for a moment. I can feel what you feel, and you can feel what I feel... if only for a moment or two.
I love to play music - I play bass guitar in a metal band, and I mess around with guitar and drums some, too. I tried for years to play guitar, but... well, ask me and I'll 'splain it. I'm the bass player.I love the technical side, too... I'm a practicing live sound engineer, and I have a small, private studio for recording. I don't have the fantastic gear that the big studios have, but it's not a PC studio-in-a-box setup either. I can get some really great results with what I've got. and I've goten compliments from some of the industry's bigger names. If you're an artist wanting to do some recording, here's your chance - hit me up.Check out Stallings USA Custom Shop Guitars! Some of the finest instruments available, period...
