Sounds Like
A combination of influences and environment with some element of creative originality.
Music is my playground.
Music is my workshop.
Music is my church.
Music is my lover and music is my life.
I've lived it and loved it as long as I can remember; working my way from broomhandles and tennis racquets on the bed to guitars and microphones on the stage.
From recording on a ghetto-blaster to mixing 24 track reel-to-reel.
From pause tape re-edits to computer driven remixes.
From a hummed melody to a plucked chord to a feedback loop through echo chamber to programmed drum machines going b00m b00m and sexually frustrated synthetic basslines and back.
From mix-tape to mix-cd.
From Adam Ant 7" free with Rice Krispies to picking from thousands of vinyl for an 8 hour set.
From air-guitar to stomping the 'floor to hand-claps in the air.
From jamming to album post-production.
From pop to rock to metal to funk to grunge to folk to hip-hop to electronica to house to techno to ambient to dub and back through it all - punctuated always with an openly experimental creativity.
From solo to band to band to solo to collaboration to producing to remixing.
From guitar to mic to bass to percussion to studio to computer to contact mic and delay effects.
...and so on and back through it all again.
