For those of you who have noticed me rattling on since this past April about a tune I’m working on by the name of “All Around Us,” you may be asking yourself, “what type of a whack-job spends 7 months on the same song and is STILL working on it?! Who does this guy think he is - Brian Wilson?!? (more…)

I just wanted to let everyone know that I’ve done some research and put together a discography of all the recordings I’ve appeared on either as a producer or as a sideman. Noticeably missing from the list at the time of this posting are any recordings made under the name “Bloompocket,” but of course, that will be changing soon (you’ll be the first to know!). (more…)

So 2 weekends back I had a very inspiring experience that I wanted to share with everyone. As some of you may or may not know, I was a high school jazz band geek, spending every weeknight practicing sax, often spending my weekend nights doing the same, or better yet, jamming with fellow high school jazz band geeks (such as Gabriel D Vine, with whom I formed Monkey Bars).

It’s a pretty prestigious competition and I actually ended up winning the jazz instrumental category my senior year back in 1993. (more…)

I realize that I’m a few days behind the curve in posting this, but just wanted to alert you all to the fact that my new track “I’ll Show You” has been featured in Anji Bee’s “Chillcast.” Anji is the vocalist for the soft pop/folk/smooth electronica group, Lovespirals. I’ve been recording and performing live on sax with this group on and off now for the past 9 or more years, so it’s so nice that our paths can connect in yet one more way through the magic of World Wide Online Internets.

While I’m still getting around to putting a proper bio up here somewhere, in the meantime, I don’t think I can really introduce myself to you guys without mentioning the whole sax/jazz music dimension.

Despite my excessive and extravagant production studio, you’ll be shocked to learn that music production was actually not my entry point into the world of music. (more…)
