About Cloudy

My name is MC and this is my Cloudy Project.

I’m self-employed and spend my days doing lots of web-based design, marketing and creative projects.

I’ve played music since I was six years old, and guitar since I was twelve. I’ve spent big chunks of my life making a living with music, and I’m also a little obsessed with photography, video, Flash and things having to do with rebuilding my 80-year old house.

I live in the Cloudy House, a big old Dallas duplex that is now a uno-plex. It is a constant work in progress. I do the work, and the progress is very slow.

I am married to the wonderful Mrs. Cloudy, who is a very fetching yoga teacher and a PhD anthropologist, my bestest friend and the nicest person I know. She sometimes lets me play the guitar as loud as I want.

I have many friends who are working musicians, and many more who are musicians who wished they worked at it a bit more. My goal over the next few years is to make lots of music with them, record it and share it here.

I also do some art every now and then.

Here are some weapons of cloudiness that I enjoy:

Lots of Macs
Fender Strats
Old Japanese Electrics
A sweet Gibson J45
A Fender Bass
A Peavey Classic 30 Amp (with a 1970’s JBL K series speaker)
The mighty Electro-Voice EVM12L (I’ve got two of those, also from the 70’s - really my speaker of choice)
ProTools
Final Cut Pro
Flash
A Panasonic DX100B
Nikon film and digital SLRs
A Mamiya 6×7
A Cambo 4×5
ADK Microphones
An air compressor with an assortment of nailers
