Robin - he plays everything (so if there's something that sounds odd - he probably planned it that way, or at least wants you to think he planned it that way, so blame him and only him). Robin uses Kinetic, Acid, Reason, Soundforge, and Sonar 7 Producer Edition for digital audio and midi sequencing chained to a Triton 88 weighted synth, a microKorg, an MAudio Oxegyn 8, and a Korg Electribe EM-1. Robin likes Korg. And stringed things. Grayorpheus' studio has several hanging on the wall and he wonders when they'll fall on his head. ST include a Epiphone 5-string bass, a Schecter 4 string, a Fender Jazz fretless, a DeArmond "Gumby' bass which is quite delicious, and the old Fender Precision with a Japanese neck, EMGs courtesy of the Antiseptic Society, and a BadAss bridge. For those social occasions that require more than 5 strings, Grayson uses a DeArmond "Gumby" (again?!), a Bill Lawrence Strat, a Fender Highway 1 Strat, and Washburn, Alvarez, and Ibanez/Talman guitars. And a mandolin. And lots of pedals. And wierd adapter thingys that no one knows where they came from. Because we asked and everyone just shakes their heads and changes the subject. And a cat. And this channel changer.

Classically trained as a small nubbin, picked up a bass at 14 so I could actually stand up, run around on stage, and break things - that was fun, so I decided to have more of it. Did that for a while, returned to keys and started Robin's Wonderful Adventure in the Land of Synthesizers, Sequencers, and trying find where this Studio cord went. It's rolicking fun, actually.
I've played in many (many) different bands. I've learned something important from each of them. In my studio, with the people I collaborate with, I expiriment. Some of these songs on this page work, some don't. Some are dead serious, others are honest grinning silliness. I don't care if this stuff is commercial - and man, that's a great feeling. I don't make music for money. I don't make music for approval. I make it to make myself happy - and curiously it seems to have that effect on others, so - cool. Thanks Be that there are exceptions to mindless music - the bands / artists in my Top Friends are, in my humble opinion, some of the most talented people on the planet, doing interesting things and breaking out of the commerciality that strangles the mind - all brought to your attention through myspace. It's time to run around and break things.
Gray and I recently started a new project - DreamLevel7. I'm really excited about it. We're pouring into DL7 everything we've learned about songwriting, structure, sequencing, perfomance and putting on a show. Check out the link in my Top 10 for developments.
Another band I played with until recently is Greenbracelet. They're great - kinda old school, classic, with an interesting sound. They're going to be playing out more in the near future, so check 'em out when you hear about them.
As a winter present for everyone, I'm offering a free novella on my website.
A Happily Ever After of Her Own
Melinda Lightfoot, a preschool teacher with an unusual ability to flit in and out of fairy tales, never thought she would get into trouble...
...until the Fairy Tale Police arrest her while she is in Beauty and the Beast. They offer her a deal: Find Beauty, who left the story when Melinda trespassed into it, or be charged with the ultimate crime -- Fairy Tale Killer. If that's not bad enough the Beast tags along in search of his true love, and Melinda starts falling for the fairy tale prince. She must choose between doing the right thing and having her own happily ever after.
