I'm just turning a corner around a childhood dream (since 9) of performing (ok "rockstar").

 I'm cracking the surface of sound synthesis through an online book 'How To Make A Noise'. I really want fundamental selection of sounds on my canvas at this time in my life even though I grew up on as much guitar distortion as there is out there. (The Who, The Dead Kennedys, FEAR, The Clash , JIMI, Sly Stone, (I was too naive for Nick Cave or Elvis Costello)).

I'm preparing to, this year, reach deeper into my singing lessons at Hochstein here in my hood; get out into more open-mikes and jams and overcome my fear of DaDaists. (just a joke).

In all seriousness I "teach guitar lessons in my living room"  ;-( mc Lars.

 I have a job in music. Therefore I am "immersed in my product".

I am not wearing two hats. I wear one.

It has taken me all these years of marginal employment, no children to call my own, and a couple of DSM diagnosis to get here.

And alot more fruitless searches on the web to get to Kompoz! (you need mo betta propaganda, Kompoz- wtf!!?) 

I have a weird girlfriend who shares some of the same qualities that I have.

She is an inspiration and an awesome ghost-writer. She can target keys of human nature in songwriting that will help us get to "substantial gainful employment" -in music.

Lately I've identified with Jack and Meg White. I really dig those weirdos.

Ball and Biscuit is exemplary because it is alot of music for just two people on stage.

Definitely Joseph Arthur. and Ulrich Schnauss is a new influence.

My favorite composer is John Adams.

Janes Addiction was the best of times and the worst all in one.

I like good songwriting in any genre.

'Improv' is clutch but goddam, pre-meditate on some of those songs.
