Madhouse Music is a small project studio based on the Roland VS 2480. It is now located in Stagecoach, Nevada. As it is a small facility, I record mainly acoustic guitar accompanied by rythym, bass, and keyboard tracks.

Besides the 2480 with 3 VS8F2 boards. I monitor with Event TR8's. I also have a VS Song Vault for archiving, backup, and CD production. My mic locker (if you can call it that) contains an AKG C3000 (the original black version), 2 AKG C430 condensers, a Studio Projects C1 and VTB-1 preamp, a CAD M179, plus an assortment of dynamic mics.

I also use a Dell Inspiron 530S duo core 2.16 Ghz/833FSB computer with Sony SoundForge 9, and DC Live 6 for editing and some final mastering. I do a lot of restoration projects here at Madhouse Music, especially old LP's and cassettes that just have to have the magic DC Live 6 can provide to get those tracks up to CD quality. I've also got a combo DVD/CDR-RW burner running off the Dell, and for the drum tracks, a BOSS DR3 Rhythm Dr., (if I don't play the drum tracks myself via the keyboard.) The keyboards I utilize are a Roland RD150 (out of production now,) a Roland XP10 (also out of production,) and a Roland Juno G. I love the Juno G because it has all the sound sets I need to produce my stuff.

I've uploaded the better version of "I Can't Wait til it's Over." It basically describes the futility of life of a Vietnam veteran who can't get any help from the government that made him go there.

"Two's a Crowd" is a kind of fusion blues.

"Skippin' Along" is a brand new track from a more 'acoustic' genre that I've been moving towards. There'll be more of this style along in the very near future

I just removed a bunch of 'old' stuff so please keep checking back because there's lots more new stuff to come!
