Artist History This is my latest page on mp3.com. I have several pages of different genres of music here on mp3.com that you can go to through my "links" section. As my main page, www.mp3.com/martinball, was getting too full, I decided to open up this page here with my all new digital recordings. My original page first went up in 1999 and I put up various other pages over the past couple years to help spread out some of my music. I record a great deal of music, however, and thought it was time to start a new main page and most of my new music will go over here. All these recordings were made using ProTools "Free" which I have been using for the past few months now, having retired my Yamaha MT 120 four track.
