These are my demos. My music is, well, classical is where my heart is, but the music I create has spun out into a more electronic/industrial vibe, with a dash of classical, of course. I've been writing since I was 11 when I discovered it was a lot easier to make stuff up than to, bleh, read music. This is my first foray into "real studio" recording (at Icehouse, San Rafael with Bonnie Hayes). Everything before this has been home recorded. I'm a tech nerd out of necessity. It's cheaper to learn to record your own stuff, dontcha know. The goal is to make good recordings of my songs and to gig (oh, and then to have a hit record, build the most amazing studio in the world, and go on tour with Peter Gabriel). So, as I finish songs I will post them. I hope you enjoy them.

I just love music. I'm not much of a writer, but I go with the rhythm and just start singing. I'm versatile in my singing, which means I do not have one specific genre. I just love music and live by it.

Unlike most people on this site, I barely have the musical talent to play the triangle! But I do LOVE interesting, stimulating music of all kinds, and there are a lot of talented people here on Sutros.

These songs were recorded mainly so I wouldn't lose them. One take per song complete with mistakes. I don't know how many songs I've written. If you'd like to record any of them let me know. If you'd like to collaborate on writing let me know. You can reach me through My Feedback Page.

If you are interested in getting addiction help for yourself or someone you know I have a mountain of resources at my website. I've spent a considerable amount of time subservient to heroin so I have personal experience in the area.

I also have a Forum, and I was thinking if people want to introduce themselves and link to their music I think that'd be okay.

I like to produce/Make music on my free time with my synthesizer/Piano, i would like to collaborate with other Artists and share different edges of music on a sweet tone:)...Perhaps an album or a music project would be cool!
Good luck to all the Artists and Musicians out there!

My thought on music has been influenced by the understanding Mozart had to tell his student. I have phrased that 'the key to learning music, is allowing life's melodies to speak to you'.

Some quotes from the book: Mozart, the man and the artist revealed in his own words. Compiled By Friedrich Kerst, Translated and edited by Henry Krehbiel.
��Here, here and here [pointing to his ear, his head and his heart] is your school. If everything is right there, then take your pen and down with it; afterward ask the opinion of a man who knows his business� to a musically talented boy who asked Mozart how one might learn to compose� (pg. 5).
�Melody is the essence of music. I compare a good melodist to a fine racer, counterpointists to hack post-horses; therefore be advised, let well alone and remember the old Italian proverb: �-�who knows most, knows least� �(pg.7).

I came across a great quote from the Jewish compser Ervine Nyiregyhazi, found in a letter to his lover;
'I am master of my passions to some extent... and yet I am torn by desires, asperations, conflicts, memories, all playing the melody of life on the strings of my heart' (pg.13)

I am a musician based out of the great state of Oklahoma in the mid-western area of the United States of America. I have had the opportunity to see bands grow such as The All American Rejects (AAR), as well as Other Lives - a band developed from one of the passionate AAR members. These have been two bands who I have learned from, and has allowed me to also see you can do what ever you want to do when it comes to music. I have played in a few bands, and it seems I was always the drummer but the people would always be great musicians who were looking for mainly people to contribute to their recording of their songs and just needed a session musician who could do the job to promote their talent to record companies such as Capitol Records.
My inspiration comes from something within me. Igor Stravinsky said 'I had my ear to help me; I heard and I wrote what I heard. I am the vessel through which Le Sacre passed' - quoted from the book; Hearing and Writing music, by : Ron Gorow - . This is what I have, and have come across a few people who have the same inspiration musically. I am someone who wakes up with melodies, and my mind articulates various ensembles during the day. It seems my only lack rests in being able to write what I hear. What I have posted is my process of learning to understand sound, and learning how to structure my ideas in music. I will eventually have a web site with postings of pieces I wrote for various instruments and different ensembles, as well as piano music I have recently written (the scores will be available).

I have listened to most tracks on Sutros and can say that some of the music is simply mind blowing. I created a few playlists that highlight somess of this great music.

I'd like to thank the musicians that have made this possible, and wish you a great 2010.
