It is said that, "clothes make the man [or PERSON, to be "P.C.", here]". 

 

I don't totally agree with the statement on it's own, but I will agree that A TAILOR can make you look your best by crafting and enveloping that person with aspects that can potentially emote more from their person, and draws the observer to focus on certain aspects of the wearer that ordinarily pass un-noticed.  Think of it as "subtlety in punctuation".

I've always been drawn to the powerful influence of music in and through my life.  It was that facination that brought me to study & better understand the pallet of sound manipulation in performance; and not just the formulaic writtings on a music staff.   There is a way that we create a sharper aural image in performance; to add a "sparkle", drawn on a cleaner pallet for the effective 'escape' of the audience.  It is not common-place in it's subtlety, the sense of "taste" or it's ART; nor is it only "tuning it up" !   It all draws from nuggets of understanding psychoacoustics and physics.  I just love it.

 

This resume is a sample of how I found my way to "the best seat in the house".   If I can be of service, please feel free to contact me.
