Trinity & Triage released on Overlook Hotel Records After a little over two years of work, the first collection of songs by Trinity & Triage was released on Overlook Hotel Records on January 1, 2014. Described as a progressive folk meets psychedelic/indie rock band, the origins of T&T began with songwriter, Ralph Feetham (Islington, London). Feetham's unique style and sound on acoustic guitar drives a majority of the music behind this 11-song set. Trinity & Triage also features the exquisite vocal work of Deanna Quijada. The wide dynamic range of the material is the perfect playground for Quijada's vocal acrobatics.......

The Origin and History of Overlook Hotel Records Back in 1999, I released a collection of recordings from my archives called "Room 237 (R237-001)" which became the very first release on Overlook Hotel Records. It is a small collection of early electronic compositions with one track featuring Todd Gerber (Dinah Shore Jr./Umlaut). Hardly any copies exist (they were made to give out to friends), but you may still be able to locate one at the main library branch in Cincinnati. I also recorded a collection of songs called La Notte - "La Notte De Cavelieri" (R237-002) with my friend Paul......

Toxic Web Is Released: October 4, 2013! I am proud to announce the release of the first EP by Toxic Web on Overlook Hotel Records. Jason and I have written a lot of music in the last couple of years. Some of it has been very dark, indeed. Fortunately for us, the inimitable Deanna Quijada embraced that very darkness and has delivered some fantastic writing and vocal contributions to form the Toxic Web project. Toxic Web isn't just another electronic music project. Some people argue that electronic music has no heart or soul. I beg to differ and present to......

The Origin Of How I began Writing Electronic Music To explain the origin of my own electronic music, I have to look back at horror films and television programs. As far back as I can remember, I have enjoyed electronic music and film scores and even aspired to writing scores for movies (a guy can dream, right?). While I prefer film scores that use electronic compositions or any hybrid which incorporates synthesizers with rock or classic orchestration, my interest in music with synthesizers/electronic music is very diverse. I've said it before and I will say it again. Synthesizers, to my......

Drum Injuries: Drumming Is Dangerous! I'll start from the beginning...from birth, but first, a disclaimer. This long-winded blog is not intended for personal use or to be taken internally, nor is it to be used as instructional material. Some of the information contained therein is purely conjecture, wildly inaccurate, highly improbable, and even possibly a lie. Some of the stories are based on actual events.

The oldest joke about raising children may be that they......
