I started composing in an avant-garde "classical" idiom but have since progressed to a kind of progressive/avant-garde pop-rock-classical hybrid style, with strong elements of "classical" avant-garde (i.e., in the tradition of "classical" composers, leading up to Webern, then Varese, Stockhausen, Carter, Xenakis, Cage, etc. etc.) I began home taping by the most primitive means imaginable; overdubbing by bouncing and re-recording tracks between two tape decks...very primitive and the early tapes are just horrible to listen to. But I evolved with better equipment over time. I played various electronic keyboards including a fine old ARP monophonic synthesizer, some Casio keyboards, an old electric bass, drum machines, and anything I could borrow.
