Music is my passion, and I like to record and play it every chance I get. I started out recording music on two cassette decks, upgraded to 4 track cassette recorder, and graduated on a few different kinds of DAWs (Digital Audio Work Stations) on my computer.
I enjoy recording other bands music almost as much as recording my own music. I would never tell the band members how or what to play. It is my job to bring out the best in them. I always start with a clear sound where you can hear everyone in the band equally. Then later on, we could add special effects and make it anything we want to make it.
I also enjoy making single camera DVD Videos. I started out with $100 worth of equipment in 2004 when nobody was doing it. I have managed to make some interesting special effects videos. With Kaleidoscopes and melting movies, it is a lot of fun, but I think I would be happy to make a live concert video with eight cameras and no special effects. Maybe someday I will have the equipment I need to do that.
The Songs
This website is designed to feature my music. The ‘Album Credits’ , ‘Sounds’ , and ‘Sheet Music’ menu options are the final versions of these demos. The ‘Album Evolution’ menu item features all of the music I tried on my way to get there. There are 26 albums and 3 DVDs in this section.
Backing Tracks are usually Drums, Bass, rhythm instruments and sometimes Lead Vocals. These 75 songs, these 5 albums have the backing tracks completed. Although I will change them to fit better vocals if I have to. I plan on writing better guitar solos, and probably most lyrics will get rewritten by somebody else. I like to write music, not vocals. Maybe the lyrics are fine, I don’t know. I will say that I would like these songs to be a celebration of life, all the good things. Right now the songs are about war, death, and a lot of sad, sorry ass, shit that I don’t want to think about. Some of it is ok, but damn. Every song?????
I always thought that it was more important to me to have fun with my friends playing music, than to get real serious about the music, but now I am real serious about my music. I would still rather play with lesser musicians that aren’t arrogant, than play music with someone that thinks they are better than everybody and treats people bad because of it.
I have sheet music for rhythm guitar, lead guitar, and bass guitar, for all 75 songs. This should make it easier to learn the songs faster, as a group.
It would be nice to have a singer that can sing too. Not just scream.
