This is a Creative Environment
An extension of skin, bone, circuit boards, paper & vinyl, my work studio is a co-mingling of the obsolete and the cutting edge.
Antiques, castaways, 33 1/3 album covers and open-source software interact with a striking visual experience which never fails to inspire hi-quality work.
Original Song: “I Really Didn't Mean It”
When I wrote this song, I was thinking of a 'Buck Owens meets the Rolling Stones in 1965 with the drummer from Blondie' kind-of-thing. Throw in some Buddy Holly too.
This song was performed here by one of my 1st bands, The Revellaires, released on Top Records.
Original Video: “Resolution No. One”
This was influenced by Salvador Dali, Man Ray, Edward Hopper and The Who.
The mood was brooding and intense, solitude and anonymity. I wanted to shoot and edit time-lapse footage with people and animals and nature.
Listen closely to the soundscape I built for it – all the water, wind & bird sounds are signals from shortwave and pirate radio stations.
Original Photography: Glimpses of this space in time-lapse
This time-lapse video has some nice interior shots of my studio over the years.
I wrote the soundtrack to this video. Play this loud - there is a smoking guitar solo....
...and make sure you check out the dancing bat.
