During my performances I create warm harmonic sonic spaces and combine them with processed acoustic instruments and electronic textures. In a concert the tone is set by playing pre recorded textural elements before the performance begins. I will build on these recordings with improvised chord structures using didgeridoos, udu drums and analog synthesizers chained through a series of audio processors. The set continues as a series of flowing ambient sonic spaces for about one hour. During the show the audience is welcome to move around, lay back, and zone out. The performance ends by blending the pre recorded elements that started the show with the gradual deconstruction of live improvisations. I tend to walk out of the performance area when I'm done and encourage the audience to leave the listening space whenever they are ready. It's a practice I have observed with other performers I greatly admire.
Preferred venues are art museums, living rooms, churches, or anywhere it's quiet and distraction free.
Since 1990 I have worked for public radio. Through this career I have been exposed to a number of recordings I would not have found otherwise. Along the way I have met and interviewed some of these artists that inspired me to record my own sonic spaces.
Recently I began to use MIDI technology to create splendid sounds. While I love my Juno 60, I have plunged into the soft synth and digital sampler world thanks to Reason 4.0 None of my final works are contained in one program. The audio is processed, edited, and layered to other audio programs such as ACID and Wavelab. Using Lexicon outboard processing, VST plug ins, and Waves plug ins I contine to discover compelling surreal audio. Expect to hear more of it through My Space and other Internet outlets.
Currently I am combining my on line music interests with my other professional ambitions. I am seeking additional voice over work from any source, field production, and part time studio work. Have some work for me? Contact me.
I have also started to video blog. Here is my first entry from July 2008.
This is my second video blog about a plane trip out west.
Hey! I tried to read your comment but My Space flaked out on me. Yea, I am going out to CA to see Will and hopefully see Bryce Heather and Giavana (If I spelled that right) and the new baby. I just saw the You Tube from your visit last year.. It was great! You two are passing along the Star Wars to the youth...I love it;P tell me what you are up to?
I hope you're ready for the transition from one globalist democrat to another. The only difference is that you won't be able to criticize this one or else you're a racist. can't wait. In other news, I've got an old idea for a possible segment/series for IPR. hope you're doing well man.
