Artist description My concept for the music I'm writing is to feature both piano and guitar in an instrumental progressive rock style. I use a fair amount of acoustic piano in the music and primarily lead guitar. I like to experiment with different textures, colors and combinations of the instruments. For example one minute the guitar will be screaming in a solo and then BANG... there will be just piano, I love how powerful effects like that can be. My music is often complex in various ways (time signature, structure, harmony, rhythm), however it is always melody driven.
