Michael Wayne Davis wrote the song lyrics and I wrote the music to his words. He remarked that the music was a departure from what he wanted but he didn't come up with anything to replace it. I sang lead vocal on this musical rehearsal. Mike played electronic synthesizer and rhythm equipment that he had. I played my Fender Stratocaster.

Musical Rehearsal: Guttersnipe

Michael Davis and I wrote this musical sketch. Mike played electronic synthesizer and rhythm equipment that he had. I played some kind of organ.

Note to self: we probably recorded this in Mike's Chicago apartment on West School Street near North Racine Avenue sometime in or after 1979? Or was it the loft that Mike later rented on Division? near Ashland? I acquired my Strat after reading "The Heavy Guitar Bible" published in 1979.

Musical Sketch: Beth

Michael Davis wrote this musical sketch. Mike played electronic synthesizer and rhythm equipment that he had. A visitor played what sounds like my Stratocaster in my absence. I'm not pleased.

Whitty Heights House Show (Cassette Mix)

My voice in the early childhood from the original recording of my father’s old cassette tape recorder in the late '80s.

My father used to record the moments we spent together with this small cassette tape recorder on every weekend. We were singing, reading fairy tales and playing together next to this cassette recorder in the living room. In this clip, he teaches me how to call the numbers from 1 to 10 in Korean. Then I seek to pronounce as he taught me imitating his intonation. (Learning numbers from 1 to 10)

Father and Child (excerpt from my father's recorder)

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.

Solo songwriting, collaborative albums. Songs by Todd Umhoefer mostly recorded in Wisconsin and California.
