About SMILING EYE
began recording in 1981 under the name Smiley in 1981. My first CD release was under the name Smiling Eye in 2000. I have released 3 CDs to the public. With a large backlog of musical material, I hope to find a quicker way to get it into circulation. I find there are more hoops to jump through now than there were in the analog days. I am constantly converting and re converting data to appease different criteria. Maybe a universal download or automatic converter will be adapted so that music can be streamed soon after creation.
The first music I liked as a child was in films. Bernard Hermann's music always impressed me. Later came the Beatles, Byrds, and British invasion music. I had about 6 months of music lessons before my dad discontinued my lessons. Failing school grades were the reason.
In the later 1970s I became a fan of progressive rock and experimental electronic music, also chamber jazz (ECM type). Eno, T. Dream,and Michael Rother were among my new influences. I hope that these musics have blended with my muse to forge my own sound from them. I more or less became self taught in my approach to playing and recording. I read music magazines, and was a groupie for any lecture or demo that any music store put on in the 1980's through the present. I keep up with new technologies via Youtube videos of new product and demos from the NAMM show. I hope the energy and dedication in seeking my musical expression has not been in vain.
