WHAT I AM
I’m not one for all the tedious yak of biography. Who cares? Suffice, I'm a producer who writes. I've been doing this forever. I started at the nexus of the known universe and will still be around at heat-death with the cockroaches such is my unshakeable dedication to the craft.
I've done so much work I might boast about it. I've produced recordings from punk, prog, jazz, folk, pop, rock, blues, r&b... all the way to orchestras, choirs, comedy and poetry. I even made an album in a monastery once for the monks for Christ’s sake!
Spanning punks to monks is no bad thing for the producer. Being diverse is more troublesome for the artist however who is expected to be authentic. To the art police I'm not that. I’m a dabbler, a chameleon, a veritable hack, a fake even; one minute a pop tune composer, the next a jobbing session guy. I don't stick around long enough to be rooted in anything.
They would say that makes me not a real artist. I don't make music I manufacture it. I'm not in the tradition of the bluesmen or the jazzers or the rockers of antiquity, those who cleave to their roots and define genres. I belong to no such tribe. I'm an eclectic and a relentless appreciator of much, a blurrer of boundaries. That's what I am.
