SonicMonkey

SonicMonkey is the online musical playground of Michael Hacker, an Arizona-based guitarist, songwriter, recording geek, and techie. Michael is the owner of SonicMonkey Studios (a.k.a. the spare bedroom in his house) and likes Pro Tools, Line 6, and other stuff that he wishes would give him a sponsorship. Michael occasionally talks about stuff. Sometimes, he posts musical sketches (read: filler). Even more rarely, he finishes a song.

Famous (redux)

Wednesday, August 8th, 2007

It seems that the fine, upstanding (did I mention good-looking?) gentlemen on The Project Studio Network have seen fit to mention me again… only this time, they plugged my website.
