All Genres > Rock > Instrumental Rock > AARDVARK: Perfectly Flawed

As many of you know, Aardvark is, in fact, a One-Man-Band.
All the music, all the instruments, all the sounds, are created in software. I use a MIDI keyboard and a mouse to input notes and phrases into a software sequencer, allowing me to add parts to my ear's content.
I can speed it up, slow it down, change the key and time signatures, all with a few mouse clicks, and, with the exception of the key signature,
none of these changes will affect pitch.
No, it doesn't sound real; it's not supposed to. It's just me writing what comes out of my fingers.
Two of the songs on this CD were co-written by Robert Martinez.
