Music is a big part of my everyday life. Most of my friend network are musicians I have met over the years. I use hardware, software, digital, and analog. I can read and write music in many forms, including in the esoteric "spreadsheet" format of Trackers.
I primarily use tracking software, but also Cubase and hardware sequencers like the MPC1000, and most of the music I am writing today uses the DirtyWave M8.
I have a large number of independent and record label releases. I have released 12" vinyl, 7" vinyl, CD, Minidisc, and online digital streaming spanning dozens of releases in my music career. In addition, I have played countless live shows, including in massive venues such as the EMP Skychurch in Seattle, WA.
