I have been around music and art ALL my life. I was raised in an artistic and musical family. My Mother was an artist, and my Father still paints and draws. My Grandfather played guitar, mandolin and ukelele. My Dad plays mandolin, banjo, guitar, uke and some keyboards (see photo to the right - L to R: Dad, Uncle Nick and Grandpa). My Bro plays 5 string banjo, tenor banjo, and guitar. My uncles and cousins have tremendous musical and artistic skills. My cousin Jack Gavin was the drummer for "The Charlie Daniels Band" for many years.
Several of my close friends are professional musicians, recording engineers, sound men, singers, drummers, writers, composers, music store owners and music teachers.
During the mid-late eighties, I was a "nightclub" DJ. With such a mix of Simple Minds, Level 42, OMD, Erasure, Pet Shop Boys, U2, Thomas Dolby, Mike and the Mechanics, Go West... and a mixture of Genesis, Yes, and Emerson Lake and Palmer, there was a diverse selection of stlyes not offered on the "strip" of clubs, that offered the "run of the mill" dance tunes.
I started working with local bands right out of high school as a sound and light man. I did that for 8 years. From this experience, and with my artistic skills, I started creating logos and promotion (including CD and Album covers) for many bands over the next 20 years. During this time I got my Press credentials which gave me a plethora of backstage passes where photographed and met such greats as ELP, Genesis, Yes, ELO, The Who, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, Frank Zappa... to name a few. Their influences have made a mark on my style of musical composing. A photo collection can be viewed here: Alimar's Concert Photos
In between all of this, I spent 15 years as the Art Director at a local college, designing promotional materials in conjunction with the Public Relations department. I also taught Macintosh Basics, Advanced Mac and applications from 1985 to 1993. I was an onsite computer admistrator for many ad agencies while they were making the transition from traditional to electronic generated design.
I have been composing and recording music seriously for five years now and have won several awards for compositions and collaborative efforts with musicians from around the world. My latest works are of an orchestral nature which have encompassed the past two years of my life.
I am currently working with vocalist/songwriter Jon Anderson, of 'YES' fame on several musical projects orchestrating and composing new music.

As the Green Power President I will implement policy to convert our energy grid to decentralized Solar Power and EV cars to fight Global Warming and create those much needed jobs in the private sector. My strategy and policies will put Americans to work NOW not in 20 years and give the US a significant competitive advantage in the global market place by using existing technology.
Thompson also is a strong advocate for Civil Rights for all!

Hey there, Here's one from left field... Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat? A while back I came across some very disturbing information, which inspired me to make this video: Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4 Both artistic (ensure you've good enough sound to enjoy the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice. Though the source materials are somewhat aged, the fundamentals remain relevant today. I encourage all to visit the YouTube web page above to learn more (Show your support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly re-post and circulate as widely as possible. Help to raise awareness. Say have you checked out my web site (http://www.faberoptime.com) recently?
