about me
(taken from my bio on SilentRazor.com)
-----------------------
A virtual 21st century Buckaroo Banzai, Chad Volpe is classically trained pianist, experimental electronic music composer, poet, producer, web designer, software developer, martial artist, swordfighter, and occasional SAG actor & stuntman all at once. Always wearing too many hats but not big on titles, Chad balances developing his music projects BACKBONE and Boxer Rebellion with partner oTis Johnson, managing his music publishing company Bitter Music (BMI), being webmaster for the Society of Composers & Lyricists and other web clients, and his continuing studies in Ninpo Taijutsu and computer science.
-----------------------
He played keyboards for seminal early '90s Los Angeles/Orange County industrial band STG, co-programming and co-producing their 1993 album "No Longer Human", pulled a brief paid stint with Fear Factory playing keyboards during pre-production song development for their album "Demanufacture" and had a BACKBONE song used in an episode of Highlander - The Series.
-----------------------
He arrived in California in 1990 after a failed attempt to move to San Francisco from the east coast and hence lives in Los Angeles after having jumped off the bus in Lancaster in the middle of the night.
-----------------------
Most recently he coproduced, starred in, and composed the award-winning score for oTis (OD23) Johnson's short film "The Silent Razor".
-----------------------
More most recently there was briefly an STG reunion in late 2005/early 2006...
-----------------------
For those in the know, oTis and I began shooting "Tulpa" in early June 06...

Things thought and then shared...

My band (Idiot Stare) is headlining a very big and very fun and very cool show on Friday night in Long Beach. And it would be great to see some faces in the crowd that I might not otherwise expect! ;)

If you are my friend on Tribe, then it is almost certainly through our mutual association with T-Moto. Of course she was not always known as T-Moto. Before T-Moto she had other names, one which is highly classified and is never spoken, and one which I gave to her when we got married, which she decided to keep now that we are divorced. We are still best friends after all this time, because at the root of it all, the magic, the love that brought us together is still there. Even though that part... read more

My Testimonials

March 4, 2005
At this point in my life he is without a doubt the best thing that could have possibly happened to me.

Because of him I experienced real stability and unconditional love for the first time in my life. I had someone that really did see me, that core fire in my soul that you all see as so prevelant and ready apparent today, was not so apparent then, and if it were not for him it may never have come to the surface. He could see it, and to him it was what he saw in me was worth sticking around, nurturing and fighting for.

His patience, determination, and sheer stubborn will are never to be denied. Not to mention his sincerity and loyalty. He is by far one of the most amazing people on this planet to me.

No one else in this world can make me laugh or cry, enrage me, affect me, touch me, ground me or connect with me as easily and quickly as he does.

He is an eccentric composer, a ninja, a poet, a silly monkey, and the kindest and most sincere friend you could ever hope for.

I believe in him and everything he is capable of. I am his biggest fan, and will always be one of his best friends, because he is worthy of all the love I have, do and will continue to give to him.
