Disabled Musician.
N. Illinois & NW Wisconsin.
1st loves: Singing, Mellotron, synthesizers, prog & electronic music, recording, photography and art.
Then I found mountain biking, building singletrack & Fat-Bikes. Music took a back seat.
A rare degenerative muscle disease discovered in 2011 began to slow down my physical activities & I am transitioning back to my 1st love, music.
Independent Music.
E-bikes allowed me to ride MTB, Fat-Bikes & road bikes for several years after my muscles got too weak to ride my standard bikes. I retired from MTB in 2020 as I could no longer walk back to safety if a mechanical issue happened.
I make Omeo video's, a self balancing personal mobility device, as my degenerative muscle disease progresses.
NEUTRAL EARTH is my current band. I sing, play Mellotron & synths.
I also post my past music projects.
I got into eurorack modular in 2020. It allows me to create music despite my loss of hand strength & finger dexterity due to my muscle disorder.
