Currently I'm mostly playing and recording with a  Hamer Sunburst Quilttop and my old friend, a 1986 Kramer Baretta. As well, I have picked up an ESP LTD with a maple neck and a single/single/humbucker setup for some different tones, an Ibanez EWC30 acoustic-electric, and finally a 5 string OLP stingray bass which are featured in various recordings.



Recording Setup

I run through  Behringer V-Amp rack gear into a mixer and my computer with a motu 2408, and record with Cubase. Drum and keyboard tracks I input via my old Korg M1 in midi, quantize to make up for my imperfect keyboarding, and then convert to audio back though the M1 hardware  or a variety of VST softsynths. 

Live Setup

Live I run a rack mountable Behringer V-Amp pro so I can use the same sound libraries that I record with, powered with a crate powerblock stereo power amp. I built a custom head to hold my rack gear and a set of 4 single 12 inch speaker cabinets using vintage jensens and eminence from old fender cabs, and control it all with a midi pedalboard. All in all it's a very solid sounding rig live with all the flexibility I need in terms of sound ranges.

Newsflash

New Pages on Other Sites

I received word last month that download.com has switched over to its sister site last.fm so that means the old link should now direct people to a new page. It offers more flexibility for an artist in terms of having no limits on size or number of tracks available, but I don't know if it will generate the kind of traffic I used to get from the old site (about 16,000 listens in a little over a year) Time will tell. It also seems that they have included sound bytes of my "twin", NFL coach Dennis Green with my tracks, but that will happen, as I'm always fighting for space in the search engines with him.  I know who he is, I wonder if the same goes the other way around. Maybe we should record an album together. I also set up a profile on project opus , so if anyone is on that site, they can stream and download from there as well. 

 

 Tuesday Night Jams 

Tuesday is my regular Jam night with my friends. We have a collective of half a dozen fellows from various walks of life and ages, who are brought together by a common love of music. A great group, lots of fun, and always a few hours of improv. Most of us play more than one instrument, so it's pretty common to see the guys switch places, taking turns playing bass, keys, drums, and guitar. We have the good fortune of a 24 track recording studio environment that's well suited for live playing, and so can record every session. I'll be posting the occasional live jam here on the song page for your listening pleasure. We like to listen to the tape and select ideas to work on either together or individually, and this weekly musical therapy has been a great source of inspiration for me over the last year. Our host, Mo makes flight cases under the M.I.N.E. brand name, so hence the project name.
