Music is most definitely a large passion in my life and I love to consume and create with it. Below you'll find everything from rough demos to finished products from all points and phases in my musical journey. Holler my way with some feed back if you have any, and as always, happy listening.
Visions of the Unexcused
VOE was born in college while I was a DJ-ing @ 90.9fm WONY and has most recently been revived in the form of a podcast. I've been having a lot of fun putting the episode's together and am planning on keeping VOE up and running for awhile. The podcast is dynamic so if you listen to it via iTunes you will see ever changing album art work, as well links to the bands webstes that you're listening to, truly making for a much full multimedia experience.
Cold Bazooka is an experimental band I'm in and collaborate with. There's three Bazookas' total and we like to think of ourselves as an underground multimedia
digital art collaborative. We're symbiotically working with
original audio, video, and images towards an evolution of sight and sound. Some examples lie below. None are final versions.
I've spun under numerous different DJ names be it DJ D-Nuyce, DJ Derek Pea or what have you, however it looks like Digital-Derek is the name that's sticking. Below you'll hear a range of mixes through the years. Mash-Ups may start becoming a focus of mine in the near, we'll see.
A taste of some songs/covers I've recorded through the years. I wouldn't call any of these a finished product necessarily, however they are something, and there's always the chance I'll re-visit some.

Too Skeptic & More
I feel like you haven't lived if you haven't gone through a ska/punk phase, and my freshman year of college was that phase. After meeting my friend Tim (who's now one one of my better friends on the planet) while we both were pursuing the same girl, we decided to drop the girl and form a band. Too Skeptic became our name, and below is some evidence. Big ups to Drew, Nicky C, Skinless Bandits, A-Train, and all others who supported us that year. Pretty fun to hear me singing as a teenager...yikes.
