August 7, 2015. Durham Is For Creatives. Windows 95: 20 Years Already? Around age 6, I began to show an interest in playing piano. With encouragement and teaching from my mother I began to delve into what has become a lifelong passion for music. As an adolescent, I discovered synthesizers from checking out a vinyl record from my local library. That record was Wendy Carlos' Switched-On Bach. These days, I continue to write and record music regularly releasing material through my band no-form.

Use What You Have. July 20, 2015. August 7, 2015. Use what you have. That has become my motto of late, particularly in regards to music equipment. As a gear junkie, it’s easy to get trapped in the mindset that just one more piece of gear will spark some sort of creativity, crush any writer’s block, make me ultimately happy and solve all the world’s problems!

Durham Is For Creatives. August 3, 2015. August 4, 2015. Looks like Durham, NC has been ranked #9 out of the top ten cities in the United States for creative types. You can read all about it here. At The Huffington Post. The capital city of the Tarheel state and nearly twice the population of the Bull City, didn’t make the list. Frankly, this is no surprise. I’ve watched Durham. A pretty big deal in music circles. Raleigh has been hosting Hopscotch. I think I’ll have that cup of coffee, please. As an ado...

Summertime: Bitter and Sweet | UNRELATED NOTES

Summertime: Bitter and Sweet. June 30, 2015. Summertime is upon us and with its arrival comes hot weather, cold drinks, backyard grilling and daylight lasting until after 9PM (at least in our neck of the woods geographically speaking). But for me, it also brings with it some bitter-sweetness. Another Reason I Love Moog. Moogfest Destination: Durham, NC. As an adolescent, I discovered synthesizers from checking out a vinyl record from my local library. That record was Wendy Carlos' Switched-On Bach.

Ground Control To Major Tom…. February 5, 2016. In tribute to the late David Bowie, Steven Wilson and his band cover “Space Oddity”. I continue to be perplexed as to why Steven isn’t more well-known for his musical achievements. He is an authentic creative force in a world full of PR created entertainers. January 28, 2016. It’s been awhile since I last posted. Thanksgiving, Christmas, a new year have all come and gone since my last communique. And tomorrow Dream Theater. November 25, 2015. January 7, 2016.

Longing for Porcupines | UNRELATED NOTES

May 25, 2015. May 25, 2015. As much as I’m loving Steven Wilson’s. Solo work these days, I do miss an active Porcupine Tree. Granted, they are currently on indefinite hiatus, so there is at least a possibility, albeit a slim one, that they’ll release at least one more album. But even if they don’t, they have plenty of previously released music to go back and re-listen to or listen to for the first time. 🙂. In the meantime, here are two of my many favorite songs from PT. Knowing Nothing About Something.

July 24, 2015. July 23, 2015. Finally underway towards finishing some songs. It’s going on two years since I released anything and that’s been personally frustrating. Nevertheless, the past month or so has seen an increase in a level of creativity I’ve not had in awhile. And with a recent rearranging of my studio, that’s helped to spur things along even more. Looking forward to a rather productive midsummer! Use What You Have. My enduring love of music includes classical, jazz, alt-rock and progressive-r...

August 1, 2015. Durham Is For Creatives. Around age 6, I began to show an interest in playing piano. With encouragement and teaching from my mother I began to delve into what has become a lifelong passion for music. As an adolescent, I discovered synthesizers from checking out a vinyl record from my local library. That record was Wendy Carlos' Switched-On Bach. And it served to stir a desire to discover how such sounds were produced and to eventually make synthesizers my primary musical instrument.

8220;Self Portrait” Collage. September 4, 2016. For a recent class, I was required to assemble a self-portrait collage. The final piece shown below reflects my personality in that music is a huge part of my life and has been my creative outlet for several decades. You’ll notice that this is a symbolic self-portrait rather than a literal interpretation of my actual appearance. Now for a bit of explanation of the bits and pieces:.
