The songs contained in this page's JAM CENTER were completely written, produced, performed and engineered by myself. You don't have to like it, but you do have to respect it.The amount of effort for one person to do the job of four is no easy task, but it becomes a labor of love and a challenge that must be met due to the lifetime of dedication to the craft.

The first three are "CURRENT WORKS IN PROGRESS" and have no Vocal lines yet. The pruduction quality is consistent and continuous, and the songs sound like they are of the same creative place.

                                      You be the judge !!

NEWEST MATERIAL - These are works in progress

I'me looking for a Vocalist that will do these songs justice!  Is it you??

The  remaining songs n the Jam Center are previously songs form the last several years., and past incarnations of my Home Recording Studio. The Technologies advance so rapidly and as a result,   the production values  are audibly different. 

The current Studio setup  is a MAC G5 running CuBase  SL3 with a TASCAM fw1082  DAW controller , some outboard modeling and rack gear and  the typical Plugins.  Monitoring thru a pair of TANNOY near fields  and a SAMPSON reference Amp. Ofcourse all the  typical preamps, mics and  processors are used. Drum Programming thru a DR 770  , Sounds submixed with the sounds from a n ALESIS D4 .

For what it is, it is a fairly Musician friendly writing studio and  gets the job done well enough to produce  recordings that are robust enough to represent my creative  output and represent my songwriting .

Summary:       Yes ... all the above are the opinions of the artist, totaly and completely self serving and self indulged. But 28 years of learning the craft gives me the right!

I welcome feedback and criticism from anyone qualified to give it. That means you better have  a solid 10+ years on your instrument, some type of formal or informal education and paid some dues for me to take it seriously. I by no means represent this material as being ready for distribution... if it were it would be for sale and not free.

I don't claim to be an audio god, but I have some skills and like to "PUT IT OUT THERE".  I freely share it with those that like to support Independent unsigned music from artists with talent who simply write music for the love of it.

PLEASE feel free to click the "CONTACT" link on the navigation at the bottom of the page. I will reply to anyone who takes the time to send me feedback .........ENJOY

For those of you that may happen to be  musicians you might like the content of my Scales and Modes page. it is a typical neck graph with dots to represent the scale and mode along the entire neck. but what is even more interesting are some of the modes I have never even heard of ...and I have been playing 25+ years . Its also a very slick piece of programming . If that sort of thing interests you.
