Using today's technology to create something new and unique! That's what Creative Tech Nerds is all about.
If you need some inspiration to "jump-start" your creativity, read our interviews ( -with "Ayreon's" Arjen Anthony Lucassen, Frederic Brun of Arturia or the other creatively gifted performers and designers we feature ! ).
Greetings! I'm the author of Creative Tech Nerds. I'm an electronic musician ( "Riff Jam Tribe", "Synth Lab" ), a micro-budget film maker and a photographer. I dabble in computer animation as well. Someday, I may actually get good at this stuff. Frightening! So using today's technology to create is something I'm familiar with. Putting up a site dedicated to the stuff I love seemed like a no-brainer. So I did it. Hope you enjoy it.
But this site isn't really about me. It's for anyone who enjoys CREATING ( -be it music, film, animation, photo-graphy, etc. ). Hopefully, this site will serve as an inspiration for you to CREATE something new, different and original of your own. Originality rocks!
Amateur? Semi-pro? Professional? Doesn't matter. Wherever you're coming from "Creative Tech Nerds" has you covered. Check out our gear, music and film reviews. Peruse our designer and artist interviews. Be inspired. CREATE! Have fun! That's what we do here...

The first record I ever bought. 1970. Must've been twelve. Saw it in the discount bin at Katz Drugs ( -"Florissant Meadows" Shopping Center ). Simply titled "Moog!" by Claude Denjean "and the Moog Synthesizer". The coolest album cover I'd ever seen. Check out that futuristic "magenta-on-black" computer font! That spacey moonscape! Apollo... Computers... The "Future" man! A prime example of the late 60's/ early 70's "Moog Record" craze. Current pop hits ( -like "Proud Mary", "Nights in White Satin" and "Sugar, Sugar" ) done on the latest tech wonder: the "MOOG SYNTHESIZER"! I was smitten. I HAD to have that record! I remember seeing Mikey Dolenz playing one on the "Monkees" TV show ( -"Night for Day" ). That "Monkee's" episode being my first exposure the Moog. Now, here was an entire record album of music done on one of those gizmos. How cool was that! And that's how my addiction to electronic-music began. All from that silly $6.00 record album. Funny how little things like that can change the rest of your life!
In addition to running Creative Tech Nerds, I also author Local Legend Films and Alt Income websites. If you'd like to see what my ( micro-budget ) film studio is up to, check out the Local Legends site. If you're tired of the "rat race" and would like to explore some alternative ways of making money -check out my Alt Income site: It's still under construction but should be available online in a month or two. http://locallegendfilms.jimdo.com http://altincome.jimdo.com
