Technology, Innovation & Telecomm

I’ve been playing drums and diddling with other instruments (very little) for years. In fairness, I’m really just a drummer who is a wanna-be musician.

What do you call someone who hangs out with musicians? A drummer…sigh.

Anyhow, I love playing and don’t really get to do as much as I’d like. Sometime, I’d like to collaborate with someone on a distance (or local) recording project. I’m into jazz, contemporary Christian, pop, big band, etc. Steely Dan, Michael McDonald, Jeff Lorber, Pat Metheny, Dave Koz, etc. are some of my favorites.

I have a pretty decent recording capability at home here. I use Motu Digital Perfomer, Apple Logic Express 7, Garageband and other smaller apps like Audacity, etc. And, I can record 24-bit, 96 Khz in up to 8 channels at a time with a Motu 896 firewire interface (unlimited total channels). With luck, my channel count will increase to 16 in the next two weeks or so. I also have a small collection of mics (growing slowly), hardware effects, etc. I use Yorkville studio nearfield monitors. My system is computer-based, using a Macintosh G5 Dual 2.5 Ghz and a Macintosh dual G4 450 Mhz machine and a 466 Mhz iBook for mobile recording.

So, if someone wants to perhaps collaborate on a project, I’d love to hear from you! I want to expand my recording and playing horizons and perhaps this is a good place to get the word out!
