Sounds LikeI play bass with these bands:

System Noise
Area44
The Volunteers

Definitely check them out in my top friends.

I have also been known to be a guy tapping on a really sweet bass, with two hands mind you, maybe some loop sampling, keys, and vox. Sometimes I think of music as the collective experience of everthing I have ever listened to and everyone I have ever met... Sometimes I just think things sound cool.

I have been compared to other bassists, but I think listing them would be kinda lame.

I have other profiles here too:

   About Dave Smith.
Cosmic Monsters


Volunteers - "HoogaBooga" LIVE at Highline Ballroom




I was born a 2 month premature white baby in Ithaca, NY. I was briefly raised in Wisconsin, which is where I learned to peel carrots. I grew up outside of Cleveland OH in a town that was farming and became suburbs, for my part it was absolutely gorgeous... Car stuck axle deep in the mud, the fear of vampire hunting right behind me, complete safety wherever imagination took you, build it just to knock it down... Twas the perfect place to grow up. I knew perfect people, with perfect lives, with perfect everything you could imagine. Yet it really wasn't, as we all learn to understand. I found the bass almost 13 years ago, and it was instantly part of me.

All the while through my life I am listening and working with sound, usually through instruments and commonly understood media. I work with Richard Zack, a long-time friend, at The Wink Winks which is an artist Management company... Management, Promotion, Production, Positive Impact.

The experience of working all day as an artist or helping ones I really believe in can be really stressfull, yet totally rewarding on a level I am really thankful to have in my life.

Otherwise I still write as much as I can, and I would love to hear all those who do the same. Communication is the basis for being human so drop me a line, especially.if you are in NYC so we can hang out.



I would be happy to complete tracks with like-minded people or possibly anyone else... its all music.. So wherever you are if you have pro-tools, or can send me whatever file I will deal with it and play on your tracks. Of course I have to be into it. Completely serious here... quick turn around done with great equipment and love.
