Description
ROTU is Ranchers of the Universe
We do a lot of jamming, and no gigs since we are all too lousy and too lazy to learn sets of music.
We are cowboys on Acid
History
Mostly we do live jams, and and a few multi-tracked productions from time to time. We have also saved some recordings from a few years ago, and once in a while remix one with new overdubs, arrangements etc.
To do that we use Acid Pro, Sound Forge, and cubase - that way we can take some songs that sounded like crap at the time, and give them some new life. Sometimes a couple of great measures from a horrible take can be transformed into a pretty cool tune.
Group Members
Players include:
Me - J. Eddie: percussion, guitar, keyboards, guitar synth, harmonicas, some vox, basement recording and production
Scooter - guitars, keyboards, insanity
Christopher - winds, midi wind controlled synth, some vox, insanity
El Jefe - bass, guitars, lap steel guitar, accordian, percussion, great dinners for us
Flip - guitars, bass, percussion, vox
Herr Heinzel - bass, percussion, toy xylophone
Jim 2 - guitars, keyboards, bass
Mr. Stein - drums, percussion, bass, vox
Cherie - vocals, lyrics (it is french you know -"my Cherie amore")
Patrick - bass, and thrashing every thing else
Special K - melodica, djembe, kalimba, therimin, bass, vox, but wait, there's more!

Lombardo - educated guitar chops, he moved to San Diego so he's archived now.
Ricky - Easy Big Fella! No one will know its you
Keeney - archived bass, guitars, vox - not sure if he's still alive
Our tunes may have any number of combinations of these players, down to solo productions.
Style
We don't have much style, but have a lot of fun doin it.
Influences
Jams at El Jefe's

Computers, software, guitars, basses, synths, drums, v-drums, v-guitar, harmonicas, lap steel guitar, accordion, bongos, congas, shakers, rattlers, scrapers, walls, floors, cowboys, horses, cows, flies, you name it.
Collaboration
I can send you Cubase files, Acid files, wav files, MP3s, and midi files - I would love to collab.
