I should also point out that a great deal of what I do day-to-day is with pencil or pen and manuscript paper, sketching paper and when it's time for software, Sibelius.

I use mainly Logic Studio, but it really depends what I'm doing. Have been using it for about 3 years. Prior to that I used Sony ACID for about 5 years and Reaper for about a year. I think the first one I used was Sound Forge way back around 2002.

This is really, really tough. I think I'll go with "Book of Saturday" by King Crimson. If I recall, it opened my ears.

could always contribute when your time allows.

Wow. mp3.com.au has closed its doors. Thanks for the email notification, guys!

Thanks for letting me know man.

Interesting stuff, George. I like how it sounds somewhat "chip"ish, without being chipish.

my website has a bunch of info about previous work: vgiles.net

BUT, back in 07 I formed and played bass in, arranged and composed for a jazz group called Cosmic Debris (thanks, Zappa): this and teaching was my main income source for quite a while, but it folded in a bit and I went overseas. http://www.mp3.com.au/cosmicdebris

In 09 I was part of an ongoing experimental (I use that term loosely) project called Fracture, we released an album on the Clinical Archives netlabel. http://www.archive.org/details/ca340_f (very cool label I must say). This music is free improvisation/developmental/deconstructional music, with the idea of exploring the sounds of the environment in which we were playing, mainly using instruments, but not always. This project is ongoing now after a fair bit of time off, with more a focus on treating found sounds and improvising with them. Coming soon!

I also write concert music and such, have done a couple of short film scores and other stuff. vgiles.net for this kinda thange.

Aye, the greatest percentage of music I listen to each week is probably WB...
