Hale-Bopp Records Presents
About Me
I have been playing music in the greater Phoenix, Arizona megatropolis since 1979. I have played just about every open mic as a solo act — I have even played at a McDonald's in McCormick Ranch.
About ten years ago I joined a three-piece rock and roll band called 8 Ball. When I'm not writing, producing, or playing with the band, I'm usually doing something technical — writing code or learning a new technology.
I fancy myself a bit of a writer, too. I'm currently working on two books: The AI Wars and a pseudo-non-fiction called The Digital Citizen (currently under wraps).
I'm a prolific songwriter — I write songs almost every day. Most of them are total crap. But every once in a while, one gets through. When you browse the discography, click any record and listen to the whole thing, for free.
Orange Recording Studio
When I started my first DAW-based recording studio, I was living on Naranja Avenue. Living in the southwest, I discovered that naranja means orange.
It's a fairly simple concept that worked well for the Beatles. Apple Records? Orange? It's a fruit thing.
Computer Geek Alert
I've spent the last 45 years working with technology. The work I do puts my hands on some of the latest bleeding-edge tech — a lot of expensive toys I could never afford otherwise.
As long as I have that unfettered access, why not ask the question: where are the boundaries? I love searching for them.
