I am just fascinated by music, especially pop and jazz music, altough I do appreciate Bach and the like...
My style is quite personal, but clearly "pop".
I create music on several computers, using both natural and synthetic sounds.
I would not say I really "play" my different instruments. I just manage to get sounds from them, and sort of "paste" them into a song...
Considering I use quite a number of plugins, I can say I get in touch with dozens of different instruments. (I do like the "mini erhu").
Three computers (Microsoft type), using Cubase, Magix (and Samplitude) as well as LMMS (to get a first draft).
I have collected an amazing number of plugins...
Two old keyboards : DX7 and Roland W 3O (for its fabulous filters), several midi keyboards, a (good)Prodipe mike, several audio cards, including a Hercules multichannel model.
Ibanez and Yamaha guitars. Fender precision bass...
Whatever turns me on;
at the moment, I'm just rediscovering Miles Davis...
Too many to be quoted.
Mainly the British pop scene of the seventies : Hendrix, Clapton ( The Cream), Peter Green, Fripp, Jethro Tull, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Patto, Thin Lizzy, Robin Trower, and some other remarkable people like JJ Cale, Ry Cooder, Ali Farka Toure,...
Nothing familiar, I'm afraid...
Just have a look at my "influences" and try to imagine a sort of mix of all that. Can you ?...
I once was a teacher, but that was quite long ago...
