The Music of Aldo and "usr/sbin"

I'm Dennis Moser and I perform, solo, under the project name of "usr/sbin" and do streaming performances (in Second Life) as AldoManutio Abruzzo ... so my releases sometimes have all three names on them.

Increasingly, the music you will find here was recorded directly to hard-disk as a live performance. I have tried to indicate that wherever possible. Many of these have been streamed performances in the virtual reality world of Second Life. This has been a surprisingly pleasant experience and I was voted as the "Best of Second Life: Live Performance" for 2007.

I hope you enjoy what you find here ... please note that the music is available through Rhapsody, eMusic, Napster and Amazon.com as well as the default shown here of iTunes ...
