JT has been drumming for 30 years and has 20 years of extensive experience in Concert Touring, Studio Recording and Live Performances in the Continental United States. Sharing stages with Korn, Carcass, The Presidents of the United States, Gruntruck and Grace has been the most memorable live performance experiences for him during the 90's. In early 1996, JT securley fastened his drum throne to the Sonic Industrial band Contingence, based in Seattle, Washington. Contingence has been featured in countless European Music Magazines and Webzines over the years and was featured in MIX Magazine following their 2001 album release, "Necropolis", with Paul Speer and Rainstorm Studios in Seattle at the engineering helm. Paul is well known in the industry for his composition works with Scott Rockenfield and it was a pleasure to have him on the project to keep our feet planted. Under their own label and production house, Deprogrammed Productions, Contingence continues to write, record and distribute their brand of Industrial Sound scapes for commercial enjoyment. Taken a step further, in early 2006, Deprogrammed Productions officially morphed into Deprogrammed Studios NW/SW. JT is an operating partner in the business and handles all drum tracking on a daily basis for original compositions for commercial licensing in his own recording studio -Deprogrammed Studios Southwest Div. He tracks, mixes and transfers his audio files abroad via remote access ftp sites. Deprogrammed Studios is on the leading-edge of commercial soundtracking and sonic background scoring for Major Motion Picture/Network TV/Film and Video Games. Our in-house production team consists of a small group of talented composers from around the world, equipped with their own recording studios, these talented individuals are on call for us and responed to our tracking needs with lightning efficiency and top-notch industry sound quality. JT, in addition to his drumworks, also takes care of business ties for Deprogrammed Studios regarding media conferences, conventions and other important media events within the Southwest region, addressing promotional portholes for independent licensing and sync-licensing deals for composition placement in the multi-media arenas. JT's business partner and lead composer, Otto Cate, has recently been discoverd by Bob Rice, of Four Bars Intertainment, and has secured individual artist representation by the firm. Bob is at the forefront of artist representaion services for the talented composers of the video gaming industry.
