Well, by comparison, you could call me a wannabe, lol.
Pretty simple and basic stuff I useReal name: Jon Marc Simpson
Age: be 41 next month
What style(s) music: Havent figured that one out yet, lol. Like Anisina, I just love anything that moves me…and that is an extremely wide range of stuff. If I had to give an answer I would say alternative/ambient/pop, lol.
Dj/mix/write/produce/engineer? (any and all): I write and record my own stuff, I guess you could say I produce cuz I do all of it…but Im not an official "producer".
Instruments: I fiddle with a few of them and dont consider myself a master of any: guitar, bass, keys, trumpet, harmonica and "sing" a little.
All software: Still stuck in Reason 2.5 and I use Audition as my studio. Im just getting into and learning Izotopes Ozone cuz its time to master my first full song. Ive used Acid and FL in the past but now Reason only.
primary equipment: Have an acoustic, electric and a bass. Use a really really cheap keyboard and midi thru Reason. For my electric guit sounds as well as some thick effects added to my keys, I use a quadraverb/gt and I use a basic 4 trak recorder as a "board" lol, into my Audition. Yeah, im in the dark ages still.
career/job/school(what studying): Im getting out of the restaurant business which I have been in for about 20 years. I am working as a consultant for new restaurant owners but I am in school full time, studying philosophy and history.
main goals in life:Yeah, like Juggs and anisina say, to be fulfilled. And that is why the career change. It paid the bills well, but leaves my soul vacant.
other hobbies:I draw and love to build things. Amateur astronomy as well as read about the "new physics" and spirituality.
other forums/websites: again, Im in the dark ages. Im on here and myspace.

Hey skitch! Where you live and what golf course you frequent? Its EXTREMELY rare to meet a fellow frisbee player! My cousin, Scott Zimmerman was world champ 6 years straight and got me into it heavily. My biggest gripe is I can NEVER find anyone that freestyles anymore. Its a lost art.
