You may have heard of it. :)

SoundClick

My music profile at SoundClick.
It's a pretty nifty place.

'Snap' CD at CDBaby

25 copies printed.
Maybe 9 left to be had.

iTunes

I don't own an iAnything.
Maybe you do. ;)

'Snap' CD at Amazon

I can even be found at Amazon,
though it still comes from CDBaby.

Emusic

I know little about this place,
but you can find me there.

GreatIndieMusic

Another place I am not familiar with...
I prefer CDs yet....

GarageBand

I have been known to 'compete' here.
It has been known to be fun. :)

Free braps

Listen to or download free braps here.

Here are some useful resources
for musicians and music lovers:

Discogs

This is like the IMDB of music. If you want to track down all the things you don't have from a band, then you should be ultimately pleased with this site. When I joined in 2006, it was cool. Lots of the things I own were not listed. Now they mostly are. Useful stuff...and you can buy and sell the stuff. What more need be added?

SampleSwap

A terrific community of folks who just plain love sound and the ways in which it might be manipulated. For $30 you can join as a Premium Member (I am) and get a nifty DVD of all the sounds on the site. That's a gnarly deal. Your jaw should drop now.

SoundSnap

Another great online community for sharing samples with others. I really dig the layout and the selection looks pretty vast. Also, like SampleSwap above, they are quite friendly. I was welcomed straightaway.

Audacity

A free audio editor that does most of what I need to do in such a program...and does it well. Sure, I look forward to a shiny new version of Sound Forge someday, but this keeps me legit...and it's easy to use. Uses the LAME encoder for terrific WAV-to-MP3 and vice-versa. Highest recommends here.

Sonic Transfer

I just found this place in Googling for a solution to a question about Ableton Live. Not only was my question answered, but a tutorial was provided to get me where I was going. Niftiness like this deserves a shout, I say. There's a burpload of subjects covered and tutorials galore, as well as forums that I don't have time for. :)

I started with a drum machine way, way back in about 1988. I had a Yamaha RX-8 and a desire to THUMP the world a little. Granted, that was a pretty weak machine sound-wise, but it had all the basics a drum machine will and taught me lots. Before long, I purchased a keyboard and used that little beatbox to sequence everything. MUCH more gear followed and I don't use hardly any of it any more...rather, just the stuff I have obtained in recent years.

I soon found myself in a band that we called Rorschach. We gigged around for a good 5 years that we were together and had a lot of fun. Then social problems erupted within and the band imploded. After cleaning up a little (heh), I took my music underground and kept it very personal for well over the next decade, only sharing with a very few select others and only actually writing with one other, Whelp (who I am happily now once again involved in projects with again).

For most of my 20+ years as a musician now, I have recorded little and shared less. It remained purely a live thing and, therefore, a hobby. I love to just plug-in and play. There was a time way back when that I was incapable of doing it so easily and now I find myself having to learn to regain those original skills of structure and, well...sharing this flow. I just added a Korg PadKONTROL to my studio to help me better express myself through my fingertips...and my fingertips are very useful, I just hate trying to drum on a keyboard. This is a very exciting development, to be sure. Stay tuned.

In 2002 I suffered some pretty extreme health issues (that you honestly don't want the details of, whether you know it or not) and life changed inexorably. After some surgery and a good couple of years of recuperation, I tried to return to the retail life I have always known (since the age of 5!) and quickly discovered it just wasn't going to happen quite that way anymore.

Thankfully, I have some other wonderful creative skills and music is a prime one. Why not explore more fully now that I have the time and why not share it with others? I have only some idea where it's taking me so far...and 'on a tour' is not what I mean, sorry. :) I have my own music and a new band project with muh good buddy Whelp, a saint walking the Earth if ever there was one.

I mostly work with sample-based materials nowadays (mmmm...Ableton Live 6), but I truly have few rules other than 'if you need to steal it, and someone notices, you really weren't trying hard enough'. Heh.

Please enjoy what I offer here in the free spirit it is offered and if you don't like crazy music, be afraid. Very afraid. ;)
