About Me |

Jason Carter, better known by
the stage name Mooseboy
Alfonzo and His Prairie Troubadours, was a
French Enlightenment writer, essayist, deist and
philosopher known for his wit, philosophical sport,
and defense of civil liberties, including freedom of
religion and free trade. Or was that Voltaire?
Mr. Carter, on the other hand, is a true gadfly of our times, dabbling in the arts with a goal of tearing down traditional barriers by showing how it's all the same with the unifying effect of building trans-genre/continental/cultural/sexual/cendental/fatty acid experiences uniting all people of all backgrounds and beliefs. He also does lounge remakes of popular tunes. |
My Musical Background
I've been a musician for many years now, starting back
in my teenage years. I made my first musical recording
at 15, a spoof of The Police named The Gestapo. My
first steady gig had come at 13,playing bass in a
"standards" band, the Tim Tew Three (later
Four). |
Playing and RecordingAs a musician, I
consider myself a bass player first and foremost. I
also play guitar, and read a keyboard well enough to
pick out a part when needed.
For recording purposes, however, I leverage technology heavily and strive to compose and sequence my songs as much as possible, filling in with actual playing as needed. |
A Mooseboy ManifestoThe Instant Classic Opus series is, in a soundbite, creating lounge remakes of popular tunes. Still, there's much more to it as it incorporates many of my musical influences and opinions on modern music. To that end, I wrote my manifesto, where you can learn more about my story, my influences, and what I feel my art is about. |
