creativity is a drug I cannot live without.


I'd like to think of myself as a creative person. I'm always thinking up new ways to do things or ideas I want to create. I'm a Graphic Designer & Video Editor by trade but have always enjoyed playing around with sound - primarily electronic style music. I started playing around in Soundtrack Pro arranging and mixing loops into a style of music that I wanted to create. I got hooked right away and just plain enjoy the whole process. So many talented people here at Looperman have allowed me to download many of thier loops which keeps me a happy man. Thanks to all. CHEERS!

In short, I'm an amateur just having fun.

I don't know how to play the guitar, I don't know how to play a piano,...I just really wanted to create music, somehow - so loops give me the opportunity to create my own style and vibe of music.

I have the highest respect for those that can pick up an instrument and write music. As for me, I am more of a music arranger in a sense... I know what I like to hear and I can arrange sounds I have collected into something halfway decent in a smutty amatuer techno kind of way.

My tracks aren't masterpieces, and they ain't always pretty, it's just what it is. I'm just an amateur who has been creatively inspired to create something...something I enjoy and hopefully someone else can dig as well.

All I have is Soundtrack Pro, so I have been primarily using that.

Powerbook G4 and constant espresso shots - that's all I need...

Lot's of Sony Creative Software loop packs, Mac Jam Pack loops, and some Looperman.com gems. They all provide my needs. lol.

In no particular order:

-HEDNOIZE "searching for the end"
-FLUKE "risotto"
-INTERPOL "turn on the bright lights"
-JUNO REACTOR "bible of dreams"
-SLAYER "reign in blood"
-HORACE SILVER "song for my father"
-AMON TOBIN "permutation"
-NICOLA CONTE "bossa per due"
-FRONTLINE ASSEMBLY "implode"
-THE CRYSTAL METHOD "vegas"

Fluke, Juno Reactor, 2 bit pie, Hednoize, Basic Pleasure Model, Uberzone, Amon Tobin, Frontline Assembly, The Crystal Method, Steve Jablonski, Hans Zimmer, Ursula 1000, Nicola Conte, Thunderball, Mingus, Miles, Thelonious Monk, Obituary, Suffocation...It's all over the board, whatever I'm in the mood for or whatever inspiration requires.

Amatuer vibe - electro-ambient-experimental. My stuff usually turns out more cinematic in nature, Most of the time when I'm making a song I'm editing images in my head at the same time, so that's probably why they don't play to well as "songs" - kinda more musical backing for something. Does that make any sense? lol.
