 David Keenum
David Keenum from Woodstock, Georgia USA began playing trombone in the fifth grade. In the ninth grade he heard Procol Harum’s Whiter Shade of Pale and that changed everything. From then on he wanted to be a keyboard player as well.
He has spent his career in music education, receiving a Master’s from Auburn University. He has taught in Elementary, Middle School, and High School. At the same time he was playing keyboards in a number of groups. He also owned and operated a studio for about 10 years – engineering, programming, producing and playing on a number of CD projects.
A few years ago he decided to concentrate on his own music. Since then he has had a number of commercial projects. The oddest and most interesting was composing and recording theme music for a “Bones Exhibit” at the Indianapolis Children’s Museum. David is also a writer for Wusik Sound Magazine.

 Tim Rosvall
Tim Rosvall from UK grew up listening to folk music in western Scotland, and have played guitar in acoustic and electric bands for a number of years.
He started using a DAW fairly recently and still a traditionalist at heart, most of his efforts being concentrated on recreating the sound of 'real' instruments. However, the increasing
availability of a wide range of affordable sample libraries invites experimentation, and makes these interesting times for every musician or composer.
