 Hey whats up, thanks for passing by my spot, appreciate it.
If this is your first time around, I'm coming to you from my home studio in Hamilton, Ont. Canada.
I listen to and play all types of music, ranging from ambient electronic to progressive rock. Video is
another hobby that I enjoy experimenting with, alot of my musical inspiration comes from those visuals.
I'm using a combination of traditional instruments and computer software to produce the tracks, which
I think makes for a cool variation in sounds. I've had some great online collabs over the years and its
definitely made the music even better.

NEWS:

03/10...one of the coolest things Jas and I have done together, stemming from a bit of online jamming, a nice jazzy
track emerged. Its a bit loose and up front but Jas was the perfect vocalist for this style, great job girl.  Toward Your Light.mp3

02/10...a panoramic pic of Hamilton from the mountain brow. Kind of a dreary day for a stroll but a much needed
one.  click to open full rez photo.  


02/10...this song got started and then abruptly ended after a hard drive meltdown. After getting things back up
and running I thought the idea was worth recreating. I'm glad I did because Jas gave an inspired vocal performance on
it, I think she really hit her mark and made this a rockin track.  Nothing Lasts.mp3

01/10...just a couple budget additions. Yorkville SM1 bi-amped monitors and my economical Eppy Special


01/10...a new year brings a new song with jasmine, this one is kind of special to us, we were inspired together
when we made this. A melodic acoustic style thats one of my favorites, its called  Like a Fire.mp3
 
12/09...keeping with my thoughts of looking back at life, I wanted to perform live to an instrumental track

                        and capture the recording on video. I also wanted to show a few pics of people and places that I
                        I like to  remember. The video is posted at youtube  here  . The track is called  Reflections.mp3

11/09...was just sitting around taking in life when a simple little song came to me, somewhat different music but it
            had to come out. I guess I was feelin fine, lol, because thats what I named it  feelin fine.mp3

11/09...a kind of experimental jam piece I wrote that originally had the drums programmed by a friend. I
            was never really happy with the drums so I did them over playing live to capture more of the feel I
            was after. Lee Velasquez is still there on bass guitar with me on synth and lead guitar. I'm experimenting
            with a sound on my electric, a sort of distorted filterscape. I think its much cooler now  the SneaK.mp3

9/09...another one day quick jam with wim wever, kind of a melodic lighthearted thing  one day flow.mp3

9/09...a bit of a rough live jam here with jasmine, a nice folksy thing I thought. Of course I always love jasmine's
          vocals. The quality isn't the best but I think we captured something together too good to hide. She played
          rhythm acoustic along with the vocal, I'm just supporting her with an acoustic lead, a tiny synth and a very
          hidden percussion track...enjoy.  dream connection.mp3

9/09...fall has kicked off wonderfully, great weather and some great jammin. This is a collab with smokin guitar player
          Larry O'Meara from Montreal. I jammed out the bed instruments, got a vibe happening and basically let Larry
          do his thing, great lead Larry thanks.  Toxic Jam.mp3

7/09...not really around much during the summer but since I was here for a week I entered a song contest. The rules
          were simple, write a 3 minute song for the theme of "who are you". I thought this track was an interesting play
          on the theme. I called it mysteryman, a kind of progressive rock thing with some guitar and a ton of synth and
          vocal effects. Hey I did pretty good, won some software and had some fun. I've since finished the track into a
          full song, check it..  MysteryMan.mp3

4/09...another desktop pic at 1680x1050, just messing around in Bryce. Click to view it and then download it.
                       

3/09...hard to believe but this is my first online canadian collab which features some cool grooves and glitch breaks from
          polyslax.  I added my usual science trip with some synth and guitar lines. Not overly refined as I only spent 1 night
          in production but sometimes first impressions are the most inspired.  Divertimental Dissonance.mp3

3/09...something acoustic this time out with my vocal partner Jasmine, she inspired me to not only write this song but to sing with her.
     Call on Me.mp3     

3/09...I remember the SQ8L synth from way back, full of monster basses and lead sounds. After grabbing the software version
          it had to be used for a funky vibe with full on riffing.  SQ8L Demo.mp3

2/09...heres a 1680x1050 desktop pic of my CD graphic for the Feather Project rendered from Bryce. Click on the pic to view
          the full rez version and download it if you like it.
                      
   
         
12/08...I haven't done a pure synth track in ages but after hearing the new DreamMachine synth, I was inspired to do one. Thanks to Inge
            from Serious Music Radio for letting me use a few snippets of her expressive voice for this. Its retro sounding but thats okay, I've always
            been a big fan of older style synth work. Loosely based on my idea of radio transmissions breaking the silence of space.
            Listen to Radio Science.mp3
 
12/08...hey Bob, you'll want to pass by soon, the drums are in the house, I'm having a beer and checking the Yamaha kit.
                                                     


11/08...finished a little ambient ballad type song and had the pleasure of having Jasmine Tea do a vocal track for me. Shes got a great
              voice and I'm really excited about working with her again in the future. My instrumentation is quite basic but I thought she gave
              the track life with her sultry voice and lyrics.  ...thanks Jas.  Time Passes By.mp3  
              Visit her MySpace page Jasmine Tea      


11/08...hey, ran into my good friend Tom the other day, hadn't seen him in a while. Check out the mans new bike,
             08 Harley Road King...Pretty sweet Tom, This is what you want when you turn 50 and girls don't find you attractive
             anymore..lol
                          

10/08...its time to get back to work in the studio again, the summer here was mostly cool and rainy, kind of a downer but there was still
            some good fishing and hiking going on. A couple pics while hiking along the Crowe River.
                 
                    
05/08...well thats it, finally time to travel north for the summer again. Brutal winter here so everyone is looking forward to this. I did get one
            more track finished, kind of a strange fusion glitch movement. Stu from Newcastle was into adding his bass talents to the thing and I
            think it turned out pretty cool and different., I call it  MadHouse Symphony.mp3   ... in the meantime, have a great summer.

03/08...traynor cab, 7 string scheckter, 5 string washburn bass...nice
                                                                            

03/08...bob came by with his midi kit for some jammin, good to see ya man...but I can't see ya cause your not in the picture, where did you go?
                                                                             

02/08...an online jam with friends, Wim from the Netherlands on keys, guitars and vox, Stu from England on bass,
            myself on drums and lead synths. Started on a Friday from a blank page and 48hrs later had a cool vibe for me to mix.
            Called "FirstStrike" by Wim. Enjoyed it guys!!    FirstStrike.mp3

02/08...the Roland rig for Sundays jam  
                                                                             


 12/07...my latest track featuring Gem on guitar through the Boss GT-8, she uses unique patches and a playing style that really
             lift this tune   Northern Lights.mp3

10/07...experimental track with a video in mind,  albatross.mp3
