Played bass, synth, guitar, drums, finally settled on percussion (Brazilian and Cuban, naturally, also funk-jazz, reggae, funk). Had a funnyh band in Edmonton that played twisted stuff not unlike Morphine or Lounge Lizards. Moved to Vancouver and joined an Afro-Brazilian percussion ensemble in '90. Obtained first computer same year. Now making music mostly on computer because it gives me - nyah, hahahahaaa - total control of all the instruments, just like I've always wanted. The downside: miss playing live with other people. Looking forward to rebuilding percussion collection when Mrs. emspace, emspace Jr. and I have more room. Have a uke and am hoping to get a little more serious with it this winter. I sing too. aloha, em.
