About Me

I started making music a long time ago, and recorded my own set of eight songs in March, 2006. After editing and producing that CD of me playing a Yamaha YPP-50, I waited a few months and then took up guitar, and haven't done much new material since then.
I guess the major thing that I would say about my music is that it is repetitive and it has a tendency to drone and get really annoying. That might sound self-derisive, but it's true all the same. However, I do make attempts to counteract the tedium of the songs I've recorded, such as adding very subtle sound clips, or adding an effect to make the sound of a certain set of notes different. And also another thing that I don't mind my songs being drone-ish for, is that they make for excellent background music, if you think about it. With no lyrics, if you just put it on and play it with the volume down, it might be good for conversations. And moreover, my music is better in person, which is ironic, since I haven't ever played a real concert, like onstage. But I'm working on that.
The End.

Should I make one of the songs downloadable?If so, which one?I'd like to have one available, but seeing as I'm the creator, it's tough for me to part with any specific one. Feedback necessary. Hahaha.

Peril

I found out that it's really tough for me to record my voice and then an instrument, or vice versa, just because of the way I play and sing. SO what I need to do is what most people do, and record the...

Equipment

I need to get a guitar-to-soundcard cable, an amp and maybe other stuff. Then I'll have more music to put up. Figure you better wait about a month or two.
