Music written and performed by Thomas M. Parker

I have been writing and recording music for over 20 years. My first MIDI sequencer was Master Tracks Pro on the Commodore 64 and I used an AKAI cassette-based 4-track recorder to record my music. Since then, I've added new gear whenever I could. I have formal training on the piano, trumper and baritone. Piano is my main axe. My current studio hardware setup consists of:

Mackie 1604-VLZ mixer
Peavey PV 2600 power amp
Peavey CEL 2 compressor/limiter
T.C. Electronic's M300 effect processor
M-Audio MIDISport 8x8/s
Yamaha DX-7 IIFD keyboard
Yamaha DX-100 keyboard
Yamaha RX-5 drum machine
Roland SC-55 Sound Canvas synthesizer
Dell Dimension 4550 (Pentium 4 @ 2 GHz/512MB RAM)
Creative Labs Audigy 2 Platinum w/ KxProject custom drivers.

Album: Isolation in Numbers ( 10 items )
This album is a work comprised of music I wrote as a younger man - 15 to 20 years ago - and more recent music like "Don't be Flippin' Out" and "Leave the City". Work on this album is in progress. When complete, I hope to have at least 14 songs in the compilation.

I hope you listen to the songs currently available, give me an honest rating and, perhaps, sign my guestbook. I'll post more tunes as they are completed, but, I'm taking my time.

Contact me if you would like to use these songs commercially.

Studio Jargon

Envelope Generator

A device which produces a control signal which varies in level with time. The simplest of these (sometimes called ADSR) has four parameters: Attack Time, Decay Time, Sustain Level & Release Time. Thus it has three time constants and one level constant. Such a device is often found on synthesisers, where it is usually used to control the volume of an amplifier, the cut off frequency of a filter, or the frequency of an oscillator. More complex arrangements involving a series of time and level constants are available, particularly on digital synthesisers. These are called multistage envelopes and may involve eight or more parameters usually in time and level pairs.
