My Story
Don't know what to say really. I was born and raised on music, I used to
play music back on the piano from my old Commodore 64 games ( I can
still do the ultima 3 and 4 music from memory, fear that) and from
there took some lessons. My teacher always got mad because I took to
playing by ear more than reading music. I enjoy picking up instruments
and playing them for a little while, but I doubt I will ever get real good
at anything for reals. I can do a mean Skaven's second reality on the
keyboards tho. NAID witnesses unite. Currently I'm studying electronics at
ITT technical college and wondering if I will survive all my classes.
haw-kew-naw maw-taw-taw.
If anyone has some game music job leads, by the way, please let me know
so I can ponder a music demo tape of some kind. By the time this page
goes up, I will probably be near the tail end of my tour of duty at KFC.
Let me know. (:
