About my music, or as I like to refer to it; an ethnic rhythmic stew:
I have played many styles of music over the years but kept returning to acoustic based music. It wasn’t until a trip to South America that I really started to hear the dynamic energy of the music that was created on acoustic nylon string guitar. The music I was exposed to, with its percussive rhythms in odd pulsing timings, absolutely thrilled me. I knew I wanted to incorporate this into my own writing. It was from that experience that I researched artists and study material and the process is still on going.
About Technology
After being exposed to the recording studio I developed a love-hate relationship with the recording process...(there have been more than a few times that I was wondering if my 17 inch monitor would fit through my 22 inch studio window). I am however grateful for the fact, that with the advancement of technology, you can create whatever your mind can conceive. That is a very powerful position for any artist to be in. In the end I love the process. Having the tools to record, as you create, cannot be beaten. While I’m in the creative process the world seems full of infinite possibilities.
