Drawing from all of my musical influences, Life As A Song is the product of all things I've experienced first hand, or through interactions with close friends, strangers, and family members.

My recording method :

I play my electric guitar which is being recorded on a looping system. I layer the track 2 or more times (rhythm guitar, solo guitar, bass guitar, muted chuck, bongos, electric keyboard,2nd or 3rd solo, etc). I play the song out of my amp and record it on my iphone. I upload the recorded video to youtube, and then pirate it with an online mp3 converter. Finally this mp3 is uploaded onto soundcloud.

On some songs I'll use a keyboard, bongos, ableton, and my acoustic guitar.
