Recording and creating music has been the center of my life since I was in my late teens. Initially, I was tracking my pals as we goofed around with silly songs and ideas. I also worked on experimental solo music [check out some of my just re-released early "music": lawrencecrane.bandcamp.com], but after a few years, this music-making lead to forming the group Vomit Launch with a new set of friends I'd met via college and the radio station there. People who helped us in the studio were either friends we already had, like Greg Freeman [Tape Op#1], or soon became close friends and collaborators, like John Baccigaluppi who produced our last two albums, eventually becoming my partner in Tape Op Magazine. Even when I moved to Portland, Oregon, and began recording people in my basement, most sessions were with people I already knew and enjoyed being around, ones I would call friends.
