RE: New to List - Intro & Trouble Finding a Plex

[Mark@asisoftware.com (Mark Kata)]

C.H.:
Tell us some cello stories.  For example, your equipment, finding gigs, 
how people react when you tell them what you do for a living, etc.

Also, since you have an electric cello do you try to get an amplified 
acoustic sound or do you mangle it like an electric guitar with distortion 
and effects?  Can you get controllable feedback with it?

Thanks,
Mark Kata

Greetings, all. I've been lurking here a few weeks after stumbling upon 
the Looper's Delight Web Site. Needless to say, I was *very* happily 
surprised to find that a group like this exists.

First the intro: I am a freelance classical cellist working in South 
Florida, USA.  After finishing my BM at the Eastman School of Music, I 
bought one of the early 5-string electric cellos made by Eric Jensen in 
Seattle, WA. The New World Symphony brought me to Florida, and after a 
3-year stint with them I stuck around the area, as the freelance scene is 
quite abundant. I play with all the area's organizations (Pops, Operas, 
Symphonies) and on string recording sessions for Sony, EMI, BMG, etc. 
(mostly latin artists - it's Miami!).
