[frank]

Hi, I'm frank from Chicago and have been recording (usual rock band setups) on and off as a hobbyist (myself, friends bands) for 15 years or so as well as documentary field recordings. I'm looking to understand the process and decisions that go on at the professional level and get my hand's dirty with some of the tracks from these great records!

I'm an audio production student in Phoenix, AZ. I recently switched to this program from being a Biology major for so long. I've always loved listening to and creating music. It just took me a while to realize that I could earn a degree and work in a career that allows me to always be surrounded by music.

I'm really excited about starting this course. I have only started working with Protools, Logic and Reason. I'm really looking forward to learning all I can in this course.

Hi there!
My name is Reno and I'm from Mexico City, I love Peter's music, and have always been interested in the works behind it. I watched Classic Albums recently and they aired the show regarding So, and it was the bomb, I was amused with the musicians and the production value.

I have a band myself, more on the prog-rock side, we make this kind of noise:

Ciao ragazzi,
il mio nome è Flavio e vivo a Roma (Italia).
Ho suonato fino a quando avevo 22 anni facendo anche alcuni dischi dopo di che ho dovuto abbandonare la musica per motivi personali.
Ho ritrovato la via della musica dopo avere incontrato David Rhodes che mi ha stimolato a riprendere qualcosa che per me è più di una semplice passione. Conoscendolo ho capito che i veri grandi artisti sono le persone più semplici e dirette.
Ora mi diverto ad esprimere ciò che sento senza più l'assillo e l'affanno della necesità di fare della musica per vivere.
Nella vita si ha sempre da imparare e io spero di imparare molto da questo corso e da voi.

Hello guys,
my name is Flavio and I live in Rome (Italy).
I played until I was 22 doing some records even after that I had to leave the music for personal reasons.
I found the way of the music after meeting David Rhodes that moved me to take something that for me is more than just a passion. Knowing him I realized that Great Artists are the most simple and direct.
Now I enjoy to express what I feel without the worry and the anxiety of the need to make music for money.
In life there is always more to learn and I hope to learn a lot from this course and from you.

Hi there everybody, I have loved music since I was a kid - initially mostly through listening to the chart show on the BBC and illegally recording my favourite tunes every week. It was a ritual when I was a kid at home for me and my brother to listen to the chart show every week, Sunday afternoon/evening on the BBC and from then our musical tastes expanded. Me and my brother both played in bands when we were younger but our passion was listening to music and going to see bands play. Together we saw the Police at Wembley, the Ramones at the Town and Country, Morrissey in Manchester, Ryan Adams at the Astoria, Beck at the Albert Hall, Tom Waits in Hammersmith and have seen all manner of bands at music festivals, especially Womad, ever since. Music has always been our connection and it has long been my connection to the people that I meet. I am looking forward to the rest of the journey.

[Skunkwaffle]

Greetings. I just got here.

Well, I'm a guitar player (mostly self taught) and I sing a little. I've spent some time working with MIDI and I've tried my hand at songwriting & composing here and there. I'd like to get better at writing music (lyrics aren't really my thing) and I'm hoping this will be a great place to do so.

I live in New York City and, by day, I'm a software developer.

Konnbannwa!

[luxfx]

Hi Everyone,
I'm David. I'm a web developer and all around computer geek. I've played piano since I was five, but not very actively since I was 20 or so, and played trumpet in HS band. I've recently become interested in music production and have dished out the $$$ for some software that .... well let me put it this way, I can use it technically but maybe not musically yet I'm hoping to get to the point where I'm starting to make full songs soon. Wish me luck!
