I'm Tom. I make music, art, stuff from wood, and a whole buncha' mistakes.
My wife says I'm cuter than a bug. I sincerely apologize to all the bugs in the world.
I'm not perfect, but I thank God I'm forgiven..!
Fender American Standard Strat, Epiphone DOT guitar, Charvel Model 2, Laguna LX50 short-scale, and a Yamaha bass guitar - as well as an Alesis Q25 MIDI keyboard, and a Casio MIDI keyboard that I use to control my software synths.
I play lots of instruments, but these are the ones I own and use most often.
Logic Pro X, GarageBand 10, Reaper, Ableton Live 9 Lite, Air Music Ignite, and more plugins, loops, samples and software synthesizers than I'll ever use in my lifetime..!
An Alesis Q25 MIDI keyboard, a Casio LX-165 MIDI keyboard that my lovely wife bought for $30 at a garage sale. Oh, and a Behringer Eurorack MX81002 mixer that I've had for years. My microphone of choice/necessity is an MXL V67. I have standalone recording hardware, amps and drum machines that I no longer use, too.
The Pleasure Sect (formerly The Bay of Orchids) and The Self-Imposed Limitations Orchestra, both on Bedroom Empire Recordings. I highly recommend them both..!
Everything from The Cure up until Wish; Early Gary Numan/Tubeway Army albums; Everything by Hum and Ultravox; and so many more, it would make yer head explode..!
Early Gary Numan (before he decided to hate God), The Cure, Johnny Ramone, Steve Jones, and every lo-fi home recording indie musician who has ever lived.
Nothing you've ever heard before, yet everything you've ever loved..!
Recommended if you like: The Cure, Joy Division, Hum, Gary Numan, Ultravox, Jean-Michel Jarre, Icehouse, Depeche Mode, etc.
Did not believe in reincarnation, either...
