The PatCave
The Recording and Broadcast Studio
This is a very special and sacred place for me.
​
It is the place where I create all my original music and reverse engineer/recreate all the music I use in the background when I perform live in a venue or live on a YouTube LiveStream.
This is place is a holiday, a secret garden, an escape, but also a place where many, many hours of hard work and self discovery happen. Talent/clumsiness, skill/practice, gifts/curses, success/failure all occupy the same space and time here. It is a place where I have had many beautiful nights (since 2020...) with close friends filling the room and others watching live from all over the planet. I can't tell you how amazing that is. It is also a place where I am alone alot. Hours and hours and hours of solitude from which I never tire.
THE SCENT OF MUSIC
Electric and Acoustic 6 and 12 string guitars, 4 and 8 string basses, mandolins, ukeleles and banjos from as long ago as the 1950's to brand spankin' new in 2022. Vinyl LP's. vinyl 45's, 8 tracks, cassettes, DAT's, CD's. Sheet Music Books I bought in High School. Microphones and stands, speakers, amplifiers, crossovers, cables (hundreds!!), connectors, posters and momentos from my "Hay-Days". New and used guitar strings. Full and empty Drambuie and Irish Whiskey Bottles. A computer work station. HD, 2K and 4K video cams, broadcast lights and broadband fibre optic internet connections.
These are the sights, sounds and scents of the music
that has been in and is still in my life...
