I am a rather big Madonna fan and have been ever since seeing her Borderline video in 1984 which inspired me to buy the 45rpm of the same title.  Little did I know, that it would be the first Madonna song in what would become a vast collection spanning 30+ years.  The collection is full of demos, remixes, acapella, dub, studio, and instrumental versions.  

I first started editing music to fill a void in my collection.  About 2 years ago I was trying to put a Madonna playlist together in iTunes which consisted of radio edits of any and all Madonna songs that had been released as a remix.  Unfortunately, some of the songs did not have official radio edit versions.  So I downloaded editing software and began what would become a love of making re-edits from official versions.  I have great respect for all of the original producers and remixers who created the originals.   For me, my re-edits present a fresh approach to songs that are like old friends.  I welcome feedback, input and suggestions.  Like Madonna says "Music makes the people come together."  Enjoy!!!

Transhumanist, collectively intelligent, aesthete, polymath & polytopian, resilience geek, technoshaman...plain and simple? ;P

I'm by nature and first love a guitar player and singer. I write the songs and play them, record them, mix them, that way if it sounds like garbage, hey, I'm the only one to blame. I still get a lot of feedback, input, and individual tracks from my brother Lance, or L Bone Capone. He's on here. check him out. He'll play a bass line or guitar riff for me here and there and gives me a lot of direction when i'm composing. My interests include everything that doesn't start with a C and end in OUNTRY. As you can see from listening to my tracks (thank to all who do, please leave feedback. Sometimes it's not so bad hearing "this track totally blows"). We all want to be the best we can and it does no one with skills any good to be complimented on something they did that's just not very good. Criticism is what makes us grow, compliments let us know we have. Update 10/16/2012  I just wanted to say that as awesome as I am....I'm just totally kidding. What I really wanted to share is that I had a listen to all the music I've ever posted and while my compositions are nowhere near perfect or even acceptable to some, with all the support and feedback I receive on tracks I really need it on, I feel that over the last 2 years I have grown so much as a musician in general. The cloud is like, truly a family. I've learned so much from everyone, especially a few key players. Just, thanks. As musicians whether we're new at it, not good, incredible or other we all have a few things in common, for most of us it's why we're alive. I have a theory. We musicians who in our own way are able to release have an easily taken for granted gift. We are the way we are because we are empathetic to the world not just as it relates to us but how everything relates to everything. I feel pain and anger and happiness just by witnessing something that has nothing to do with me. We who are so sensitive and prone to be affected and even overwhelmed by emotion have a gift that others do not. We are able to purge the sensation overload through our creative sonic expressions. I never write lyrics down. I just sing. Every song with a date next to it will tell you exactly how I felt and what was going on in my life at the moment I wrote it. It's an audible snapshot, but better, because music unlike pictures, can instill feelings. I can make you smile if you're angry, and vice versa. All near breaking suicidal moments are curable with the right song....like don't stop believing by journey. Greatest song ever written. I didn't say best, I said greatest. You find me one person who will change the station as opposed to turning it up and belting out those hope inspiring lyrics :-) thanks soundcloud. You're my favorite place to be, head in the clouds
