Q: Why hardware?
It's way too easy to make music on a computer these days, so easy in fact that there's a lot of lack-luster music leaking out there. I learned to appreciate the warm sound and nuance you get from hardware that you still don't get from software, not to mention that all the knob sliders and buttons are right there for adjustment. I do use a computer to compose and record, but I don't use it in synthesis. There are some negatives, but, I believe, they are far outweighed by the positives. I guess, I like the challenge.

Q: Why so much crap?
You can usually tell when an artist has a dominant piece. I try to avoid that by sewing together a lot of tiny obscure pieces, especially components from the 80's and 90's.

Q: What runs this beast?
I have a custom built 2U rack server with 4 Xeon Processors and 16GB of RAM that I use to sequence everything and record. And, yes, it runs Microsoft.

Enough questions, here's a close to complete inventory of my rig.

3 Years of work and visions that I thought I wouldn't be able to put together but "we" persisted and prevailed.

Its that time to fly guys

This track was originally recorded years back for a side project i was doing with Raheem, but we never finished it and so i chose to use it for "Piano-rama" instead. However, with all the drama that comes with dealing with major label artist- even if they are close friends, i decided to release this song for FREE as promo and its been spreading like wildfire the last couple weeks!  I would of posted it up earlier, but between mixing other soon-to-be released side projects and digging my way out of the "snow-pocalypse" that's hitting the East Coast (of the US), i been crazy busy!  If you dig Raheem's amazing vocals, then be on the lookout for his latest album, "The Love & War Masterpiece", dropping March 2nd!
