Details:
I grew up listening to all kinds of music, so my music is basically a distillation of those influences.
You hear hints of hip-hop, classical, ambient, acoustic, rock, avant-garde, synth-pop, and jazz. The music crosses all sorts of genres.
I''m always looking for a good groove via layered beats and rhythms, melodies and counter-melodies, as well as odd sounds which work good within the piece of music I''m creating.
While I''ve played various instruments for years, I started creating my own music in 2000. Generally, I prefer to use pre-recorded pieces (loops) as well as intregrating "found sound" I''ve recorded and treated. Everything is mixed together using my computers.
My goals for music are fairly simple: I just make something that I like. Quite often, I''ll put out a track as a "free MP3" and, as in the instance my album The Driver''s Companion, I''ll go to the expense of getting the music mastered and put out an album for sale. I don''t expect to recoup my costs or sell truckloads of CDs, although that would be nice. Just getting the music out and hearing all the positive feedback is enough for me.
