Jimmy Ether ATL: Tomorrow 6PM-8PM come to the Red Brick & see me (@jimmyether), @writeplayrepeat & others do the solo thang! http://lnk.ms/2yyjkPosted at 10:46 PM Nov 10 view more
About me: I am first and foremost a music fanatic, but I'm also a professional recording engineer, record producer and mastering engineer of 14+ years. I have my own recording studio/mastering studio, I run a little indie pop/indie rock record label called Headphone Treats Records, and of course I also have a band which just happens to be called The Ether Family Presents.... I'm also currently composing experimental pop music for film scores and working on a solo project under the guise of The Aloha State.
Beyond music, I specialize in web application development with my language of choice being Ruby and current framework obsession being Ruby on Rails. I'm currently working on a large-scale open-source project called CAPOCUS written with RoR which will hopefully be out in 1st quarter of 2007. I'm happily married and have a beautiful little daughter and a cat.
I have journals all over the damn place, so google "jimmyether" and you'll come across those. Text me. My people have over 300 emoticons for snow... soooo, HOLLA!
Who I'd like to meet: Hey, if you really want to get in touch with me:
Shoot me an email at ryan {at} jimmyether {dot} com. I just get so much damn spam in this message box (I just deleted 38 pages of it!) that I have to just indiscriminately delete-all. You likely will never get a comment approved for the same reason.
You can also find me on Facebook if that's your bag.
FILM-MAKERS:
Currently I'm looking for indie film projects to score. If you are a film-maker and need some quirky/experimental pop music along the lines of Jon Brion or Jim O'Rourke, drop me a line. I also have a myspace page just for film work here.
BANDS:
If you are in a band in the Atlanta area and think you might want to record with me, shoot me a message. Bands looking for a label deal with Headphone Treats or wanting to discuss touring with anyone on our roster should add our label profile and drop us a line through it.
INDIE MUSIC:
I'm also interested in chatting with anyone with similar musical
obsessions and desires... 'zine writers, college radio folks, other label
owners, record store clerks, promo people... certainly good graphic artists (we need album artwork now and then). You know, music industry geeks.
Also, anyone who's big into web application development (Ruby, Rails, mySQL, XML, CSS) or Linux admin is cool in my book.
Then again, if you think you know me or are just interested in the same kind of stuff, drop me a line.
Hey Jimmy Ether!!!!!!!WUUUUUUZZZZZZZ UUUUPPPP!!!!!!! It is sooooooo wonderful it is to have you in our family!!!!! We wanted to tell you how much your love means to us!!!!!! Keep spreading positive vibrations!!!WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!
The next Nerd Parade show will take place on the half-pipe at The Avenue Skatepark in Snellville, GA. This will be the second time NP rocks The Avenue. Last time was a blast, so make sure you show up early and grab a seat on the coping. Also, bring your boards and gear, 'coz the $8 admission covers ramp fees too. If that isn't enough, any girl who shows up and skates will get a free copy of The Nerd Parade's debut album, A Delicate Bashing. Sorry fellas, but we have to show some appreciation for the ladies of sk8 :)
