I have been playing from 11 years old when I started my first lessons on piano.
What was the first concert you ever went to?
My fist concert was Iron Maiden on Powerslave tour
What gear do you use?
I'm used to play Chapman Grand Stick (12 string) with Dual Bass Reciprocal tuning.
I have also a 5 string MTD Saratoga bass.
Who was your biggest musical influence growing up?
I don't know exactly, many musicians, many persons, many places... life was my best musical influence...
Are you in a band? Have you been in bands?
In February I published my symphony for orchestra "Deep Spaces - Discovering Yourself"
Amazon: (http://www.amazon.com/Deep-Spaces-Discovering-Yourself-Symphony/dp/B007CNQVKG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1339136053&sr=8-1)
iTunes (http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/deep-spaces-discovering-yourself/id502711445)
Now I'm working on new songs where I desire to mix Chapman stick sound and orchestral instruments.
I recently started a new project with a metal band (!!??).. men at work ..
If you could jam with anyone, who would it be?
Not now.. I recently ended a big project: I composed a symphony for orchestra called "Deep Spaces - Discovering Yourself" (on iTunes - Amamzon.com and special edition on request).
In the past yes, I had jams with several persons: not restricted minds and opened hearts ;)
You're stuck on a desert island and only get to bring one album with you. What do you pick?
No dubs, S.V. Rachmaninov's "Piano concerto with orchestra n.3".. powerful, so touching, beautiful themes that run together... I simply love M. Argerich playing piano in that concerto.
In the past I probably answered in a different way, probably in the future I will replay in another way..
