Bio

Who is this guy? http://youtu.be/jXf-ehBPoaU

Here's the song I made for that video: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15035253/FAWM%20Introvideo%20background.mp3

Here's a couple examples of my songs from previous efforts. It's hard to say what my style is, but here's a taste anyway...

I'm a geologist who likes music and dabbles with different ways of songwriting. I play drums and have been learning bass. Most often, I use FLstudio and a combination of samples, VSTi's and Audacity.

This is my 5th go-around. Some of my past songs and albums are on my bandcamp website, which is listed above.

Please check out my twin brother @MarkDesimone as he is participating this year, and is way more clever and talented than I am.

I also highly recommend following @Echogene, as he's bound to delight with his songwriting!

Thanks so much for the kind words on *26043! Glad you recognized the floppy disk seek sounds. There are two computer startups there that really seemed to fit well. Glad you enjoyed it, and great ears!

Hello, fellow trekkie! Glad you've stopped lurking and come out of the shadow... see ya in the forums, and the jukebox, and maybe on a Romulan slave ship sometime...
