MUSIC
I have been performing/recording/producing music for over 30 years. My primary instrument is drums/percussion and I have a passion for the recording arts.
I currently lead Think Less, Hear More. A loose collective of improvising musicians who perform monthly in New Orleans. The group performs improvised soundtrack to movies live. As the movie is projected (with no sound and subtitles) the group will improvise a soundtrack in real time. We also capture these performances as multitrack recordings which have lead to multiple album releases.
Over the years I’ve been very lucky to collaborate with an amazing cast of musicians and heroes. I currently operate out of my home studio tracking, mixing, producing and creating.
Recent Releases:
Last year I was connected with Minos the Saint initially to do some editing for an album. After editing a song or two I realized I really wanted to mix the album if they’d have me. I was truly fortunate to get the gig and spend a few months working closely with the band to mix a majority of the album.
Think Less, Hear More has been my primary creative outlet for the past 8 years. With an assorted cast of New Orleans finest improvisers we create improvised soundtracks live. We perform to movies without the audio (including subtitles). It’s an incredibly rewarding effort and has yielded 3 full albums and an EP.
