ABOUT

Primarily a bass,bass synth player.Been building a hardware based(vintage and newer)project studio around my interests of reggae(dub,80s digital dancehall etc)hip hop and funk.Take a look at some of my always growing gear list.I was hoping to find a partner or two,especially with handling the MPC-X and it's workflow and making and helping each other as well as other people make music.A collaboration or a crew of guys each with different skill sets and interests,using great gear in different ways,experimenting sonically.Hard to explain..Wanna run MPC-X into Mu-tron Bi-phase and a Space Echo?Hammond and Neo Ventilator 2,Arp Odyssey with Effectron and POG 2,Roland TR-707 with Axten mod Midi in out to Nord drum 3P and Roland Handsonic,endless possibilities.Doesnt seem like there's many who get what I'm putting down,my messaging.I'll probably be done here looking for people soon because it's been pretty weak and more weekend warrior types.Gets old trying to explain everything.
