About Me

Welcome. This page is where I post my less serious, more energetic music as well as various covers I do from time to time. If you would like to hear the stuff I take a bit more seriously, it's posted at www.myspace.com/thedrearybirds

"There is no theory. You have only to listen. Pleasure is the law. I love music passionately. And because l love it, I try to free it from barren traditions that stifle it. It is a free art gushing forth, an open-air art boundless as the elements, the wind, the sky, the sea. It must never be shut in and become an academic art." -Claude Debussy

"Listening to/playing/writing music is quite literally like being in love; except that there are no rules with music.........and the outcome is usually less predictable and always more satisfying." -I'll go ahead and take credit for this one....

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 7/24/2006
Band Website: you are here
Band Members: Jeremy-vocals, guitars, electric organ, various percussion

**I also record, mix and do all the other technical stuff related to recording in a home studio, but I don't enjoy that aspect nearly as much as I used to. My true love is the "music" portion, plain and simple.

**I DO NOT use MIDI or a drum machine. I DO NOT originate sounds digitally. Everything you hear started out as an actual sound wave recorded with a microphone.

My Blog

A long overdue update - if anyone's still there....

     I realize that if I were judged by this profile, I would be a complete and total musical failure and have accomplished nothing in the last 6 months.  The myspace profile,...
