My DAW is Fedora Linux based using the PlanetCCRMA, however presently I am mostly using hardware synthesizers in my compositions. The current hardware I use is a Korg X50, MS2000BR and Radius, Roland JP-8080 and a Yamaha Motif Rack ES. I am using the more well known soft-synths that run under Linux. I am sequencing all the parts, using some samples that I have recorded, but have not used any looping so far. I can't say what genre I'm in or which I like. It's all sound to me. If I like it then all the better. :-)

The collection of music you see here is the result of my composing and performing music again over the past year after a 14 year hiatus from doing music. The idea behind the current style was actually a conscious choice to keep the composing on a very simple level that doesn't focus on my musicianship much, but for me to orientate myself with the hardware, production and using Linux to do this. Because there is a very small user base using Linux to produce music, I am having to invent and learn as I go with very little help. Little, if any, production and technical information is out there, although there is some. Most of the help in forums is mostly for getting the software running. All the rest I tend to discover and learn about what others are doing on Macs and PCes and from what I pick up  learning about production in a more hardware base situation and then applying it somehow in my environment. Presets and wizards are non-existent.      

I use the beta tag because these are rough first mix-downs and with each one I have learned a lot about production. It is my hope to write one more piece, do a final mix of everything with what I've mastered so far and release all the pieces in some form soon.

Thank you for taking the time to check out my music. I hope it inspires you in some positive way.  If you like my stuff, please leave a message. I am in need of any feedback I can get right now.
