Making waves everyday...
On this site, you'll find access to the music I make, my web development portfolio, a bit about the sports that I partake in, and a little about my background.
Below is an introductory video that contains a montage of the things that I have created, built, recorded, played, had fun with, and generally enjoy doing. For more on the specific topics, you can visit their respective pages. Enjoy!
So, here's the quickest 2 seconds on who Brad is: I grew up in Texas, but now I'm in LA. I play musical instruments into microphones and program sequencers and synthesizers, and then make songs out of them. That makes me happy. I play drums and guitar primarily, but I'm a halfway decent keyboard and bass player. Editing audio with Pro Tools is where I excel, though. Making music and audio engineering combine to be a great joy in my life, and I'll be at it until I die.
On the flip side, I program computers. More specifically, I am a Front-End developer by trade - from Flash AS3 to JavaScript/CSS and HTML5. I do it cuz I love it. My romance with computers, electrical engineering, and computer history stem from my desire to CREATE and BUILD, in general. And, I'm amazed at what has already been created. So, using natural elements like electrical potential and its flow to create complex monuments like computers is a marvel of engineering that I want to be a part of.
So, you can see that I have 2 passions that blend well with one another. On the extreme right is the mathematics, physics, and logic section. In the middle, there's engineering and computers and MAKING STUFF (with which both audio and web development disciplines utilize), and on the far left is the art of creating music and graphical computer applications.
These two are a good balance for my mind - and for the management of my life. I sometimes need to get nerdy and design a gate circuit layout for a digital logic board, and sometimes I need to sit in the sun with my guitar to develop a chorus for my song idea. Both are forms of my expression. I'm thrilled with the prospect of engaging in my passions. Each day is an adventure, and there are plenty of opportunities to utilize both talents.
