....A showcase, a room full of tapes, and try not to step on the cables....
A lot of people ask me ..
"What is this, and what do I do?
Am I a label, a studio, or what the hell? Why do I do it?"
Basically I'm addicted to music.
I record myself endlessly, and used to record my band ANCIENT DELAY on a weekly basis. Lot's of side projects, and one off jams with some highly talented mofo's have taken place over the years as well.
To keep track of who I've played with, and recorded with ,
Lansing Renegade is my library, and copyright control so to speak.
If I send out product, or make you some c.d.s, they're on the "L.R.S." label.
It looks like I give a shit, and I do.
Not everyone linked to this page has been recorded by me, but all of the bands, and artists outside of the ones I'm directly involved with, (see BAND MEMBERS)
are either my personal friends, or just plain fucking amazing in my book.
I do not record "professionally", as my methods are relatively mid-fidelity, unorthodox, and I've developed some seriously twisted micing techniques over the years.
Mainly I play bass,
I'm good at it, and have my own rig.
I program beats, and I use tape loops.
I use both analog, and digital formats to record my various projects.
I listen to a million different things. I sample anything, and everything I feel like including "techno", classic rock, television programs, & weird sounds
coming from the Michigan outdoors at the dead of night.
I'm always looking for unique people to start a new band with,
or just lay down some fierce, and heavy jams.
I don't care if your from Lansing or not.
I have a lot of opinions about what makes music suck, or shine.
I also happen to be one of the most honest people you'll ever meet.
Ask me anything you want. Take care. ~
