Artist description dark new wave, 80's goth-influenced pop ie depeche mode, cure, the faint... my recording technique is a bit unconventional - im only using a small $50 sony ECM-MS907 minidisc microphone - - and a fender princeton 112 practice amp and my 3 year old compaq presario computer running windows ME and cool edit pro - i have a gibson S-1 and a borrowed bass and keyboard - i dont have any midi or clicks or anything - most everything you hear is effected guitar (with exception of "the dead sea" and "princess" which obvioulsy have keys - something i borrowed) the drums i construct in cool edit pro as well - they may NOT be perfect according to a SMPTE timer - but its what gives the tracks a live sound and that is important to me - then i write new guitar parts based on the song ideas and cut them up into small 4 to 8 count sized loops - i make about 10-20 differnt loops to work with incld variosu guitar lines and solos and bass ideas - i then sort them out into the track session (kinda like using ACID) reverse, chorus, delay, reverb and phase the HELL out of most of the tracks - do mixes and pans - making sure the song structure is sound and perfect - then the last stage i add extended overdub guitars (ebow solos incld) to even it all out and give it atmoshpere and flavor. - i maybe spend a good week or two on one song - but the time goes by so quick - i ge so obssed with it i cant eat or leave the house - so it takes alot out of me - i hear it just right in my head and it all seems to come together to easy for me when deciede on which sounds and mixes to use - im channeling something here and feel pretty objective about my music - i sit back at the end of each song and say "how the fuck did i do that?!?" - and i have found my perfect outlet - this weird poor mans setup - dont talk to me about triggers or midi - or drum mahcines -

Artist History self taught piano starting at age 2 - I picked up my first drum kit at age 13 when inspired to learn the song "we're not gonna take it" by 80's hair metal band twisted sister - aquired an electric bass, acoustic and electric guitar within the following year after a brief deep love for early 80's heavy metal (motley crue - ratt - wasp - ozzy - sorcpions - def leppard - judas priest - van halen - journey) my music tastes developed into punk - with emphasis on the Los Angeles scene (germs - x - screamers - black flag - sex pistols - ramones - dead boys) then fell in LOVE with 80's dark new wave (cure - echo and the bunnymen - tones on tail - new order - joy division - duran duran -depeche mode - smiths - bauhaus) couldnt help but get caught up in 90's college rock (nirvana - janes addiction - smashing pumpkins - pixies - shudder to think - 12 rods - swervedriver - soundgarden - fugazi) Played professional drums in a variety of bands from 88-95 in oregon / washington before and during the grunge explosion and enjoyed some critical sucess as drummer with such bands such as: uncle charlie, now william, jasper, kpants, cherry poppin daddies - moved to los angeles and have been trying to chenge this lame ass fucking town since produced and wrote two soundtracks in 1999-2000 that never saw the light of day - those tracks are still available if you are interested - let me know
