It was Scott Chatfield, Mike Keneally’s business partner, who came up with the job title Creative Catalyst for me. I immediately felt comfortable with it because it is the mosaic of activities I am pursuing that makes my life interesting and happy.
From a very early age on I was always interested of creating stuff. Thanks to myy work at public radio as well projects I did and do as an Independent, a lot of nice people cross(ed) my path. My friendship with Zappa opened a lot of doors for me and I got to do projects with people like Terry Bozzio, George Duke, Napoleon Murphy Brock, Don van Vliet , Mike Keneally, Bruce Fowler Todd Rundgren, Gary Lucas, Brian Eno and many many others. Being a creative catalyst also inspires me to keep creating artistic and innovative projects within a cultural climate that he has its challenges.
Here are some examples.
