ABOUT

Long time experienced musician and collaborator. After suffering an accident sadly I have lost a good part of my playing that I spent 30 years building up. So I've turned to technology and become immersed in creating music through electronics. Although I truly miss playing, I have found the experience beyond rewarding. With a mix of both recorded and sampled tracks, I now focus on building entire songs primarily in GarageBand. It's incredible what can be accomplished in programs like this. However I am less than confident in my vocal performance at this stage. So I am hoping to liaise with fellow musicians on building unique and original compositions. Whether sourced from my musical mind or another's, I'm just hoping to write and record finished music. Specifically I'm seeking vocalists to collaborate on compositions I have created. Additionally, I would enjoy helping build songs around the compositions of others depending as well. In essence just being back around the Art of songwriting and making music. Also, a self-described music historian I also enjoy sharing older tracks with younger music-lovers as well as being exposed to new music.
