First productions were in 1981 using the crudest equipment. Started DJing on April 1st, 1984; and, remained almost strictly a vinyl DJ for 30 years. Was given Ableton in October of 2013; but, didn't touch it until April 2014.

Several tracks were completed in Ableton that year: Furry Rave Theme (samples Ape Like Me, Ladybug Disco & Suzy) Alright With Me (samples It's Alright With Me), Future's Surely From The Past (samples Conscious of My Conscious), Letting Go Is Beautiful (samples Army Dreamers)& Holiday of Hip-Hop (samples Holiday of Strings), as well as a few tracks made without samples.

This year several more raw tracks built from scratch (no samples), were completed in February and March: Asia Minor, Hyperbola, Train By Twilight, No Rave Back & Yes Way Back.

The latest Sketch is 50 minutes of unorganized, organic, real time experimentation with some sounds newly in my possession are in a Playlist called "Classic & Proper Noodling". Perhaps this will be formatted into a more Orthodox length and structure in the near future; but, for now it is up in its raw unedited lengthy unfolding for the Hypno-House Aficionado.
