Music Background well . . . i sang tenor all through high school and college. . . played piano . . . I like math.
Music Skills i know how to read music; still learning acoustics, temperment and theory: everything i have learned has been through experience and experimentation. (( and a lot of practice )) Save for a few drum loops, I have ventured off into making most all of my own samples. I sit in my house for hours with headphones on playing with synths and vocal recordings. I am a complete Nerd in that respect.
