Artist History Long ago I played a variety of conventional instruments, but today I'm fully computerized and loop-based. Without the computers and software programs of today I would have zero interest in composing, arranging, and recording music. It is so much fun to be able to do this, to have an outlet, and to have a forum for sharing my music. As of September 2002 I am a member of ASCAP (writer).
