L-1 Vocoder. sample 3 (disco)

Studio rat. Genre hopper. Bass & piano player. Writer and builder. Lover of cheeseburgers.

I specialize in the "mistakes are interesting" school of production. So depending on your point of view my selections will either be sloppy or chock full of character. Feel is king. I hate making music with a mouse. Real pianos, tube guitar amps, and a lifetime of listening applied. 

Music and production I like for various reasons: 70's style jazz fusion, Headhunters during Chameleon phase, Frank Zappa, George Duke, Lou Reed, Bill Laswell, Rudy Van Gelder, Tower of Power, The Crusaders, The Meters, Steve Earle, Dwight Yoakam, John Prine, Kev Hopper, Mark Egan, Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller, Art Pepper, Thelonious Monk, Charles Bukowski, Larry Graham, Peter Gabriel, Niacin, Spinal Tap, Bros. Johnson, Bootsy, Jamerson, Die Kreuzen, Dead Kennedys, Film Noir, The Cramps, Propaganda, Buddy Holly, Surf Guitar, Captain Beefheart, Neil Young, Syd Barrett, Pink Floyd, Steely Dan, Rolling Stones, Western Swing, Scrunch up your nose stank Funk, modular synth music, ambient, soundtracks, early pre-baroque music.

OK my studio is beginning to take shape most of my gear is all connected and ready to Jam.
For now I will mostly record live jams as only got a two in audio interface.

In my previous life: 
This Channel is dedicated to Music I make on my iPhone 
I plan to primarily use it for music composed using NanoStudio, an iPhone music app with a really cool touch sequencer, a four part analogue style synthesiser and a drum machine/ sampler and best of all NanoStudio lets you load your music directly into SoundCloud.

Later on I am hoping to give a few more iPhone apps a go like technoBox, ReBirth, BeatMaker, Jasuto, Moog Filtertron, iceGear Argon, Randgrid, BeBoot, NLog  & Bloom.

The magic for me is the ability to make music while chilling on my sofa on a Friday evening without having to go up to my fully equipped studio in my Loft, but if I am not to lazy I may do some recordings of two iPhones at the same time so can have one running NanoStudio and improvise on the second using BeBoot or NLog and maybe even find a use for TouchOSC (Open Sound Control messages – over Wyfi).

And if anyone wants to by me an iPad then the Korg iMS-20 and iElectribe (:
