Hi there,

I would be very interested in the keyboardist position you are currently offering. I read music, have years and years of experience as a keyboardist, pianist, singer, guitarist , nightclub entertainer etc. I also have BA in Music Theory and Composition. And - yes - I am very familiar with keyboard and synth presets - I also program synthesizers. Here are a couple samples of my synth programming:

Alien Grey (The Anunnaki Bop)
