About this user
I'm a found sound/live looper/experimental musician who has also spent most of his adult life in the commercial music world as a drummer/percussionist/recording producer. I'm fascinated by the world of sound in all of it's myriad manifestations and, as odd as the 'instruments' that I use, I still consider myself a pop musician at heart and love simple form and melody in all kinds of music. As a drummer for over 40 years, I also love rhythm and have been associated with the World Fusion movement for many,many years. I also really enjoy making lo fi, toy digital films using toy videos and trailing technology webcams and cell phones. These 'animations' of my abstract electronica compositions can be seen at www.youtube.com/looppool
