BIGWIG BOOKMARKS: David Ryan Harris
David Ryan Harris has been a a fixture on the local music scene for many years. He spent eight years fronting Atlanta rockers Follow for Now, then launched a solo career. Now he's embarked on another high-profile gig. Harris' latest band, Brand New Immortals, will release its major-label debut, "Tragic Show," June 26 on Elektra Records.
As you might expect, Harris has a few music sites on his favorites list, and his home page shouldn't be too surprising either. "My home page is set up to be brandnewimmortals.com," he says.
Other places Harris visits:
www.sonicfoundry.com -- Creating music in the new millennium often involves a computer, with sound files such as wavs and programs that manipulate them. This site "has an amazing program called Acid that is available for download," Harris says. "It's a loop creation tool. It's a really cool Web site, and they have lots of links to other places where you can find wav files."
www.handspring.com -- With his busy travel schedule, it's not surprising that Harris has a hand-held computer, and this is where he gets the software for it. "They make Visors. Basically, it's a Palm-type thing. Sometimes I'll download a couple of games that keep me from doing work." But those games have the advantage of making him look busy. "People see me in the airport and say, 'Boy, that guy looks like he's working hard.' "
