WELCOME

TO THE GHOST PAD STUDIO WEBSITE A collection of ideas and tracks recorded at my home studio

BACKGROUND HOW IT BEGAN…ENDED…AND BEGAN AGAIN My study of music began in middle school, learning to read music and play trumpet in concert band. Continuing through high school, performances branched out to seasonal marching band, jazz and percussion ensembles, as well as private piano study and recitals. By the time I reached my final year of college, I felt my musical interests had run their course and I was ready to move on to other things. Nearly twenty-five years later, my interest in playing and composing was reawakened when I was introduced to the vast selection of musical instrument apps now available for home computers and mobile devices, particularly synthesizers I always wished to have access to as a young teen. This kicked off a year-long journey starting with a $100 37-key MIDI controller and a grand piano app on my iPhone, and quickly leading to the acquisition of a flagship workstation synth, as well as numerous other desktop modules, analog synths, controllers, apps, and multi-track mixing and recording gear, all of which now comprise a small but substantial hobby studio.
