We are a family of three from the American midwest. We love making music, listening to music, and talking about music. We are fascinated with the creative process.
In the real world, Neil works in video and specializes in motion graphics and visual effects. He also writes ambient electronic music to accompany his visual work.
Laura has retired from her multiple careers as an interior designer/retail gourmet food store manager/administrative project manager to be at home full-time, keeping everyone clean, fed, and clothed.
Mari works very hard in school and is training to be a dancer. She loves to write music, make up stories, and create art projects.
Our fun, creative interests include:
The Smiths’ Occasional Podcast (Free on iTunes)
Neil’s goth-industrial T-shirt designs on Zazzle.com
Laura and Neil’s new venture – WORKSMITH, where we sell handcrafted items
Our musical project, The Sleep, has released our debut album. You can download some free tracks and read more here.

Hi there
You have a worthy obsession in Depeche Mode. They are my favourite band, and I call them my grand obsession. I was watching the Touring the Angel DVD last week and started to cry again. I have such stong emotional responses to the music.

I’m right there with you, oneplanetmikey! They just capture something that we all can relate to. Brlliant!

I too am a musical person who has a big jones for Depeche Mode. I’ll be checking out Neil’s music soon and love to do remixes, if he has any interest.
I also review music so maybe some of that is in store as well.
