When Michael Wayne Davis and I began hanging out together we started, among other things, improvising comedy. We took on different characters and voices and interacted spontaneously to create scenarios. Our characters Dr. Frankenfreak, played by Mike, and his hunchback assistant Egor, played by me, were inspired by the 1931 Universal film "Frankenstein." We didn't get around to recording the scenarios on audio together until after, if memory serves, I had recorded our characters myself playing all the roles.

Castle of Frankenfreak: Earliest Master and Egor Recording?

I wrote the song, sing, play all the instruments, if memory serves. Perhaps my friends Ken Henley and Mike Willett are playing instruments as well, I cannot recall. We multitracked this recording with two tape recorders. The first recording made the basic track of upright piano with my vocal and perhaps my friends on acoustic guitar and bass guitar. We then played the recording back through speakers into a second miced recorder while I performed the backing vocal and the electric guitar solo. This process generated a lot of noise so I applied noise reduction many years later.

I consider myself a fringe transmedia conceptual artist and have experimented with all kinds of media like drawing, performance, writing, music, painting, moviemaking, game design since I was quite young. I'd love it if you would check out what I've got going here in the sound department.
