I don't have or belong to any band, and I never have. I'm just having some fun creating music, because I love to do it. That's it. Now that the Internet allows more sharing, I'm posting some of my creations for others to hear. Who knows? Maybe someone will even like some of it!

I do not record my music in a studio. I use what basic equipment I have at home; which includes a Yamaha electric piano, Kawaii acoustic piano, Yamaha and Casio keyboards, some guitars, Boss8 digital recorder, reel-to-reel and cassette recorders, CD burner/duplicator, small mixer, and a PC with music editing software.

I enjoy just sitting at the piano and playing whatever comes to me; sort of "ad-libbing" of melodies, harmonies, riffs, voices, even occasional oddities, including "mistakes". Are those real mistakes, or are they intended? Hmmmmm....who knows?

I find this approach to composing music to be more rewarding for me than trying to stick to traditional composition regimens. Besides, it is certainly easier than writing and re-writing music notation, and my hope is that it will also be rewarding to some who might hear it like I hear it. I'm sure not everyone will, but that's ok.

As they say "it is what it is!"

Feel free to offer any comments, suggestions, constructive criticisms, and the like.
Thanks!

Michael has been singing lead vocals, and playing lead guitar/keyboards in rock bands since the tender age of twelve, playing music ranging from 1950s rock and roll to full-bore thrash metal, and everything in-between. He picked up playing the guitar when he was fourteen and has been amazing audiences with his talents ever since. He began writing and recording in the mid-1990s, and has been a non-stop blur until the current day! His songs and style are inspired by artists like Nickelback, Creed, Good Charlotte, Green Day, Evanescence, Maroon 5, Nightwish, Van Halen, Asia, Boston, Def Leppard, Dream Theatre, Edenbridge, ELP, Judas Priest, King Crimson, Led Zeppelin, Rush, Yes, and ZZ Top.

Michael was fatally infected with FM radio that was playing constantly throughout his childhood, in the house and in the car, along with a scattering of Beach Boys 45s that he inherited from his Mother. He began playing guitar and writing songs around 14 years of age. Magazines, posters, CDs, cassettes and records were constantly scattered throughout his room, and a dream is born. Picture him sitting alone in a room playing and singing into a cassette recorder. Then, he was involved in a seemingly endless string of bands, where he cut his teeth and his unique style was germinated. Then, he moved to California in the mid-90s, following his heart and career. Over the next 15 years or so, he played and recorded with a chain of club rock bands, as well as many solo performances and recordings. Currently writing a book of poetry, based on existentialism and romantic meanderings, with a working title of “Better Late than Never.”

"Trinity" will be pre-released at the first stadium concert of the 2007 "Holy Avenger" tour on August 25th , 2007 at the "Summerfaire '07 World Peace Concert" at The Orange Show Stadium in San Bernardino, California, along with a half dozen Midwest dates in mid August! “Trinity’s” official release will be in November 2007. The full-length CD, "Holy Avenger" will see its official release on Valentine’s Day 2008, where it will be available at iTunes, eMusic, CD Baby and select retail stores around the world, along with every date and venue associated with the world tour to support this ground-breaking release!

Martin Richmond is a successful independent composer, sound designer and music producer with an impressive array of radio, television and film credits that recently include, the CBS weekly series “Ghost Whisperer”, MTV's "Date my Mom, "Global TV's "The Telus World Ski and Snowboard Festival", Beyond the Action ,and a number of television commercials that include Rossignol Skis, Whistler/Blackcomb Mountain, and Tourism Whistler to name a few. Martin is equally at home on keyboards, guitar or bass. He’s an exceptional rhythm programmer, sound engineer and re-mixer. An early gig with the Record Plant's Gordon Fordyce (Motley Crue, Van Halen, Ozzy, P'Diddy, Tone Loc, TLC and Seal) helped Richmond to cement his own distinctive sound that blends diverse musical soundscapes to create a memorable mood for any story or livingroom. Martin likens his intuitive music-making process to an electronic canvas, saying "anyone can throw paint on the wall and call it art, but a true artist instinctively chooses the best colors, shapes and textures... "I don't follow formulas and yet my music works because I know how to blend all the right sounds." Martin is curently recording his 3rd album that mixes the blues with his current elclectic electronic sound, " Its really hard to capture everything you're about on an album, so I just concentrate on what I'm interested in at the time I'm writing. I'm getting back to my roots as a guitar player on album #3."

My name is scott b. and I am the Worthing. I live in San Francisco, but thanks to sites like Insomnia Radio, LastFM, and of course Myspace I have found friends and fans in places as far away Germany & Japan. I hope to find new friends/fans here as well... Thanks for stopping by. Full bio below:

"In a world that's full of wholes…"

So states one of the lines in the Worthing's song 'The Picture Show.' To singer/songwriter Scott Basta that line means much more than just the irony it evokes. "I write songs about acceptance... And often times accepting things for how they are is a painful process. Like existing just outside the whole of life."

While the Worthing's music is rich in dark expression of emotional turmoil, upon further exploration the listener finds the songs are really more about the life within us and innocence in a world that does it's best to take it from you. Scott traveled extensively across America in his late teens and early 20's trying to find the place that he could best fit into to. "No matter where I was I always had at the very least an acoustic guitar to keep me sane. I have always felt like the odd man out in most social situations... I think my songwriting reflects that." Indeed, most of The Worthing's songs are works that anyone who has ever felt lost in life can relate to. They are songs are about dealing with a world that we truly don't understand but are doing the best we can to adapt as we move along day to day.

Scott first began writing songs at an early age and ultimately ended up in San Francisco where he met other like minded individuals and formed a band called The Innocents. As often happens in the early stages of a musical group, members came and went, but all the while Scott was writing music with the same insistent sound... After a time the name of the group changed to The Worthing but the sounds remained the same. Now, with The Worthing at a full creative throttle Scott feels he just may have found a 'Whole' that he can fit into.
