Home woodshedder who's appreciative of his talented friends who help transform catchy ditties into pop gems.  Crafting songs from his basement bunker studio in Chicago.

We promise to render the future from the past.

Specky runs the rock and roll act Specula. The operation is run like a zenith sector telescope, forever looking directly up. Since 1991 Specula has heard and done a lot of stuff.... if not, it all. In latin, the word for mirrors, Specula delves deeply into the pycho-sub conscious layers hidden within the recesses of our minds.  Every layer simultaneously identical, yet completely the opposite from the concurrent repetition within.

Lyrical vocals and words, though comforting and easy on the ears, can be thought of as exclusionary and are currently not utilized.
