Bio
Television Bio:
Christopher ‘StarLord’ is an award-winning journalist currently producing and editing a show for British automobile enthusiasts (primarily, Minis) which centers around Northern California events, is syndicated locally, and uploaded across the Internet via Google Video, YouTube, and Apple’s iTunes.
He brings with him a wealth of broadcast teleproduction skills gained through his work on earlier productions ‘Street Talk’, ‘Reel Life’ (aka ‘Film Trip’), and numerous other Bay Area cable programs, where a variety of hats were well-worn, earning him the ‘Most Valuable Person of the Year’ award in 1993 by Pacifica Community Television, as well a Bay Area Cable Excellence (BACE) and Western Access Video Excellence (WAVE) award for his PSA editing and post-production work on the 100th anniversary show special of ‘Bruce Latimer Show’, amoung other local special-interest programming.
Christopher also hosted a call-in variety game show, ‘Anything Goes’ based on the popular ‘Jeffs Best’, and was a featured artist on Patty Jo Roth’s Songwriter’s Soundstage (Music Innovations/Visions special) and Sandy’s Sketchbook live-on-tape painting techniques show. Additional media appearances are listed below, though in retrospect, the majority of work done by Christopher is behind the scenes, directing, technical directing, editing, filming, designing sets, setting up lighting, or managing talent, all of which Christopher has done at one time or another.
Musical Bio:
StarLord’s childhood musical career began in the late 1960′s/ early 1970′s; his first “real” instrument was a Thomas spinet organ, with lessons.. this continued for about ten years, when he picked up vocal & guitar training in the mid 1980′s. His first gig (other than church) was as lead guitarist for glam-rock band ‘God’s Grace (or GG)’ which he and some high-school mates formed. Near the end of the 80′s he went Solo into the underground techno/electronica mod/tracker scene. Currently, he is working on an Ambient project with the ::drone:. collective and has launched sites at SOUNDCLICK and ACIDPLANET where he streams and sells some of his earlier works. You can also get my dance compo from jspusa.com, hear some tunes on MySpace.com, and soon I will be selling my CD’s from this website (once I get a round tuit..)
News bytes:
1999 featured “User In Focus” on the MED SoundStudio website (UK), also part of the euro mod-tracker scene and ‘Pootertoonz’ community. StarLord has seasoned media experience, please email if interested in doing a write-up or promo.
1993 and earlier featured in Pacifica Tribune, San Mateo County Times, KPIX5, KNTV11, PCT Radio 8, and other SF/SJ Bay-Area appearances.
Gear:
StarLord’s repertoire included a Korg DW-8000, Emu 8000, Alesis MIDIverbII, Mac, Amiga and PC computers, and LOTS of samples! His software of choice is Sonic Foundry’s ACID, SoundForge, and RBF’s MED SoundStudio. On the Mac I use iLife’05 (Garage Band) and open source unix programs like Audacity. This site coded by hand with a text editor on my shell account! All PHP done via the Mambo/Joomla opensource CMS.
