Bio: I discovered elecronic music methods at an early age, becoming fascinated with tape machines, turntables, and unusual guitar approaches as a teenager. Fortunately, my coming of age coincided with the arrival of small, affordable synthesizers and drum machines in the early 1980s. I've spent the time since then trying to reconcile my obsession with electronic forms with my love of roots music, folk forms, funk, jazz, and rock & roll.

Charles Mingus (probably) said that there's only two kinds of music: good and bad. I'll take that a step further and say that there's only two kinds of music: that which makes sound, and that which doesn't. At least with that, I know which kind I'm doing.
