My good friends: Rahul on sitars and Harley engine, Larry on flutes and saxes, Moreno of Memo Scarletto on guitars and mandolins, Olaf on sundries and percussion. Cindee!, Angela of Memo Scarletto and Anomaly Jonez on some vox samples. Myself on synths, grand piano, drums ( battery & cymbals) and post-production.
Influences
Most of the influences were from live performance productions that I had been involved in; walk-ons, bands, festivals, last-minute studio calls, etc.
The artists who have influenced me have varied from Bill Bruford ( the only drummer to make money playing 17/16 time signatures :)) to Pink ( ...yeah, Floyd, too).
The influences: Frank Sinatra, King Crimson, Isao Tomita, Yes, Queen, Laguna Coil, Evanescence, Enthroned, Cradle of Filth, Infected Mushroom, Infectious Grooves, Yngwie Malmsteen, The Supremes, Jeff Beck, James Brown, Earth Wind and Fire, Kraftwerk, Toots & The Maytals, every dance/trance/tribal artist I could hear, innumerable club DJ's, late night college radio, the fallen pin.
It was requested of my acquaintances and dear friends to publish this music on MySpace for some time now. The productions span several years and various environments, cities, continents, production elements ( both live and virtual). Some were composed in minutes; some in hours and days. They were always a labour of love endeavored aside from my usual musical pursuits for monetary gain. I don't even know what genre to specify some of them into, except that the majority are instrumental. Some you may recognise, as they have been used in commercials and TV intros/outros and theatre productions. Nevertheless, they are available for you. All arrived from the wellspring of creativity that I have had all my life. You can't buy it and I won't sell it. Some of the stuff still gives me a cheap thrill after all this time. Just enjoy and let it take you for a ride.
“This is a story from my youth. One day, I caught a pair of birds and tried to make them kiss each other’s beaks. To see them kiss I put them in a cage, fed them, and watched them. I did it out of a child’s desire to see them love each other and sing happily together. This was an experiment, out of curiosity, to understand the principles of nature. I continued this experiment, which I now understand to have been quite naughty. It was only after a long while that I finally understood that love is realized only in a natural setting. Sincere love is realized naturally, in an atmosphere that is natural to the highest degree. Through a long journey of experiments I came to the correct understanding of love.” Sun Myung Moon
