Bio:
Hello There!

I used to play the drums for 13+ years (acoustic kit) in addition, played out at bars/clubs (that had paint peeling from the walls) with a couple local bands, which eventually ended in 1990.

Back then (1985 - 1990) I had a small recording studio, the walls draped in carpet (I was going to use egg cartons :)). In addition, I had heaps of gear, which were mostly analog such as: two 4-track cassette recorders (Tascam & Fostex X-15 :))(could not afford the reel-to-reel ones). Every drum of mine had a mic attached to it! I also had a Casion keyboard with sampling functionality (ouch), a cheesy electric guitar (could not remember what clone it was!) and a Rickenbacker (a replica that Getty Lee used during the old Rush days), which I regret selling it! Did I mentioned I once had Yamaha REX50 Digital Multi Effector (picture-> http://www.synthmania.com/rex50.htm)? This baby did everything from distortion, flange, compression, delay, reverb and pan). The dam thing cost me $450.00 back then!

MUSIC/PRODUCTION TRAINING:
- Modern Recording Techniques Course (1988)
-Operations on Sony MXP 3036 digital-ready console, Sony JH-24 track and Scully series 280, 2 track recorders.
- Music Theory
- Music appreciation and Opera appreciation.

Thirteen years later, reality had set in and I am back creating music! This time I will execute my compositions using my MacBook Pro and other midi-triggers.

I wish all of you in cyber-land much success.

My Best,

~Doc
