Artist description I live in KC, MO, but am originally from Wichita, KS. I've been playing music since the 4th grade, and have hopped around from instrument to instrument. I have played violin,trombone,guitar,bass,harmonica,kalimba,and traditional african and afro-cuban percussion. This is stuff dating back to '94. Most of it is done whith just a 4 track and some cheap mics, But more recent stuff includes the use of a mini disk recorder for loops and expanded tracks, and even more recently I've been using a Mac to build compositions. I don't typically restrict myself to a partcular style, I've got way too much sound in my head for that. I play guitar and percussion in a band called Life On Earth from Lawrence, KS. and a couple of the tracks here are based on or derived from tunes written/jammed in that group.

Music Style I've got too much style.

Musical Influences Tortoise, Polvo, Isotope 217, Mamady Keita, Thurston Moore ,Mice Parade, Nels Cline, TFUL282Others

Similar Artists Isotope 217, Life on Earth, Arthur Dove, Jackson Pollack

Artist History I was born, then I started making music. I started recording stuff in '94, when I got my first four-track. Some of the stuff here is pretty low-Fi, and I don't want to improve it, for moral reasons; if you've got a problem with hiss, well, then... Okay back to task: Started playing guitar in High School, congas & harmonica in College, started experimenting with Computer recording/sequenceing in '02. That enough for ya?

Group Members Me, plus some help from Steve Davis on Guitar/guitar loops, and Phil and Ben providing Bass and Drums in the Life On Earth Loops I've used here.

Instruments Guitar, percussion, vocal,, bass, effects, loops, computer sequencing and miixing

Albums I've got an extremely limited release CD of old and recent stuff available, and I'm working on a CD of all new material.

Additional Info I've got six toes on my left foot.

Location Kansas City, MO. - USA
