About Me |
|
| I'm formerly the bass player for the band SLACKS . These days I’m concentrating on my video work (see my webpage) and solo writing.
If you have a post-rock, ambient, down-tempo or otherwise cool band in the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania and need a bass player, get in touch. Liner Notes Track 1 – Looking All Casual (1993) - I wrote the song, played the guitars, bass and the drum programming (Yamaha RX15!). The guitars are a little out of tune but not so bad considering the time period and my skill level at that time. I hope you dig it. It was one of my favorites. Track 2 - House Built on Water (1997) - I stopped writing solo music in 1997 for a variety of reasons. Towards the end of that phase I got heavily into electronic music, which none of my "metal" friends truly appreciated. I thought what I was doing was artistically legitimate and I still think that today. For this song, I composed the song, did all sequencing and drum programming, tape samples, and spoken word. Track 3 - A Musical Ode to the Philosophical Underpinnings of Scientology (2007) - This song was musically inspired by a few of my favorite early 90s bands most notably The Jesus and Mary Chain. The samples were carefully selected from the cult classic film by Ed Wood, ‘Plan 9 from Outer Space’. Finally, the title and concept is derived from my distain for money-grubbing cults with celebrity spokespeople. Initially it was only supposed to be scratch track (hence the boring drum part) but it grew organically to become what it is. I think it's worthy of hearing. Track 4 - Moments Passing (2007) - Right now as I type this, I think that this is the best sounding song I’ve ever recorded. The title may change but the concept, the inexorable passage of time, was on my mind from the beginning. The main sample is my dad yelling at me when I was I kid. I was dawdling over breakfast and needed to go to school or something. I love that clip, it always makes me laugh. I recorded all the stringed instruments and programmed all the drums and keyboard sequences. I also enjoy making pictures for TV screens. Check out my personal website. PUNKMONKEY PICTURES for more on that. Here are a few clips taken from some of my favorite recent projects. MyGen Profile Generator |

Music:Member Since: 9/15/2005Band Website: punkmonkeypictures.com Band Members: Just Ed. Influences: We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can withstand the power of millions of voices calling for change.We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics who will only grow louder and more dissonant in the weeks to come. We’ve been asked to pause for a reality check. We’ve been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.For when we have faced down impossible odds; when we’ve been told that we’re not ready, or that we shouldn’t try, or that we can’t, generations of Americans have responded with a simple creed that sums up the spirit of a people.Yes we can.It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.Yes we can.It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom through the darkest of nights.Yes we can.It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.Yes we can.It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballot; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.Yes we can to justice and equality. Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity. Yes we can heal this nation. Yes we can repair this world. Yes we can. Sounds Like: Translation Loss Records Punk Monkey Type of Label: None |
