Yeah, 3:13 is one of my faves too. I did a remaster for someone in an old IRC chat channel because he had won a record company contest. I was pretty amazed. Then I never heard anything else. The band name is out on a website but I don’t get any replies when I email him.
I also have a niece that’s amazing but her parents were crazy with religion and most of her music involved that church. She’s written amazing songs but doesn’t reality want anything to do with music because it just takes her back there. <big sigh>

>> I’ve been making music of different genres for quite a few years. I was around Detroit when the techno/house thing took off, repairing musical electronics professionally. I repaired the sound system at Detroit's legendary Music Institute. I still own the tape machine that Derrick May used there for loops. I did repairs and customs for many of the notable Detroit acts and quite a few collaborations as well, almost all of which are uncredited. I played in punk bands, engineered for others, did warranty repairs for about any synth company (Sequential and Moog were still alive when I began), was employed at a larger live sound outfit, taught engineering, and ran studios. I've used almost all of the gear you can think of from vintage to software-based. I have little affection for cranky, old gear that makes me waste time at the workbench. I'm a firm believe that most classic recordings were great not because of the gear, but in spite of it.

>> I used Camel Audio's Alchemy synth for much of recent work but, since it's only available in Logic these days, I spent some time researching what synths other non-Logic Alchemy user migrated to. One name that kept popping up was UVI's Falcon. I prefer the idea of having a number of synthesis algorithms under the same interface which keeps me from having to learn a multitude of interfaces ( I still own a Kurzweil K2500 for that reason). I was quite pleasantly surprised to discover that Avid had recently deposited a license for Falcon into my account (some kind of special deal). It seems to be all that Alchemy is and a bit more. I've done some microtonal ambient, and plan to do more, so it's ability to import scala tuning files directly was a nice feature. I also use a Yamaha MOX8 and AN1x (nice virtual analog) and EX-5 (the internal VL synth is pretty unique).
