Welcome to BradOrmand.com

Welcome to my site. What I've got here in this site is: a little bit about my interests, some stories, my portfolio, my music, and some multimedia for you to experience. I am a web developer and a music producer/engineer. If you came here to dig through the music, the Music player has some great options for you to filter and search with. If you came to review my development portfolio, I'm sure that you'll be able to get a good idea of what kind of work I do by looking through it. Additionally, just check out the video on this page to hear and see a little bit of both!

So, here's the quickest 2 seconds on who Brad is: I grew up in Texas, but now I'm in L.A.. I play musical instruments into microphones 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. I got my thirst for recording knowledge straightened out by getting a degree in Recording Arts from Full Sail. Making music and audio engineering combine to be a great joy in my life, and I'll be at it until I die. It's the best, man.

On the flip side, I program computers. More specifically, I am a Flash developer by trade. 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. 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. Perhaps, I will built a revolutionary digital audio application. I will build circuits and software forever because it's just what I do - or at least while I'm alive on this Earth (or any other planet).

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 graphics. This is a good balance for my mind - and 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. 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. Watch the video below to start. I don't know how else to better reveal it to you than to show you how much fun I have had making these apps and this music in vid form. Enjoy looking through the site!
