<font size="3">Audio (AKA Patrick Lew) enrolled at City College of San Francisco studying music and media/electronic arts there was the school where Patrick Lew studied music and electronic arts and made a concerted most unsuccessful effort to fit in socially with other students. Working a part-time job at a comic book store he barely had enough money to survive in purchasing new instruments at the local guitar store.
By this time the 19-year old Patrick Lew was working steadily with a local group Samurai Sorcerers, whose repertoire was a combination of garage band punk originals and G3/Steve Vai "concert oriented" guitar virtuoso numbers. They mostly did a combination of Nirvana Blink-182, Steve Vai, Motley Crue, Van Halen, Oasis Guns N' Roses Poison and other '80s and '90s mainstream rock groups recalled many people who've seen the band perform in their garage. Then Patrick Lew was starting to discover the complexity and unique ways of making music through a PC computer digitial recording and music programs. Sometimes he would place "musician wanted" ads on Craigslist.org to see if anyone can take the opportunity to play music with Samurai Sorcerers inside Patrick's studio or playing music through a gig onstage.

Despite his recollections of being a misfit Patrick Lew did manage to make a few new friends at City College. Patrick Senter at the time a 21-year old musician in one of Patrick's electronic media courses played guitar with him one evening. His other friends included Jason Low an aspiring 27-year old musician majoring in music as well. But his closest friend during his college years at City was a creative and intelligent intellectual by the name of Bruce "Zack" Huang. The two shared similar interests in film and music and eventually became good friends and musician buddies. Patrick rarely had female friends at City College which embarassed him greatly. Patrick was so intent on getting a girlfriend at the time all attempts to meet that special one at City College failed. But he did date a Japanese girl he met at a concert named Yoshiko Kuwamoto briefly in 2005. Some of his later romance & relationships included abusive long-distance girlfriends he met off MySpace.com (a website Patrick had grown to hate because of melodrama) Liz Craig and Jillian Cullum.
While most boys in City College were into sports and cliques were very dominant on the college campus Patrick was doing social activities outside the school by doing gigs and making music on a PC and guitar and having equipment shipped to his bedroom. Patrick lived very close to City College and took the 43 MUNI bus there on occasions. Patrick had then grew a deep affinity for electronic music primarily because of his bandmates Eddie and Shawn from Samurai Sorcerers doing an ongoing touring group Logic's Enemy. He was tinkering and experimenting with computer programming and played a lot of keyboards. He was probably one of the few musicians to own a limited edition Epiphone Les Paul guitar with the slick 1962 HOT WHEELS Car design which he bought at Guitar Center for 200 bucks. Although Patrick was studying electronics at City College he was already a semi-intermediate computer programmer and was very adept with learning how to experiment with music on computers or keyboard instruments. He also downloaded several computer applications from the internet to "make his music."

By the end of Patrick Lew's first year at City College he had decided to put his academic efforts on the backburner in order to focus on his musical career. Unfortunately he wounded up leaving City College in October 2005 because of isolation on college campus and he didn't supposedly "fit in" the school. He was also depressed and suicidal after a recent breakup with an online girlfriend and the recent "falling out" with his bandmates and close high school friends Eddie and Shawn in Samurai Sorcerers. The Samurai Sorcerers did not play a gig since February of 2005 and was jamming with each other endlessly with Patrick's friend Zack on keyboards in Eddie's house in the Marina district in San Francisco which was a 1 1/2 hour MUNI bus ride back to Patrick's house in the Excelsior district in the other side of the city. Patrick Eddie, Shawn and Zack got together to play music with the typical two guitars bass, drums and keyboards ROCK ENSEMBLE but the efforts to create a new album failed for the group as different personalities of band members and etc.
Placing various ads in online music papers to look for musicians to join the garage band's ever-changing roster but to no avail. Towards the end of that year Samurai Sorcerers was dead. But Patrick Lew received lots of computer music software from his buddy Zack whenever Patrick dropped by his condo which was a five minute walk to Geneva-Mission where Zack lived. He was traveling a lot back and forth in Asia. Patrick and his friend Zack hanged out a lot as well. Every now and then Patrick and Zack would show up in computer and guitar shops looking for "virtual" garage band software for Patrick's computers as a guide to making his art.

Currently Audio the musician is a student back at City College and is putting together an Asian rock & roll group with some musicians and students during his time at Skyline College which during his time there he had musician friends and been re-connecting with them on MySpace. But in the meantime GOOGLE in "Samurai Sorcerers" to find more websites dedicated to Audio or his music and bands.</fontsize> |
