Artist description A guy, some guitars, some keyboards,some computers, and some noise.I like a lot of different kinds of music, and I think that shows in my own songs. As a result I have a difficult time classifying myself with respect to genre. I generally default to electronic for want of anything better, but in truth most of my songs are not what I think of as electronic music. I also like a lot of different ethnic sounds, and I try to include as many of them in my music as I can. I think of almost all of my songs as fusions of one kind or another.

Music Style Stream-of-Consciousness, River-of-Randomness, Tidepool-of-Transcendance, Ebb-Tide-of-Eclecticism, Mudflat-of-Metaphor, Alluvium-of-Alliteration

Musical Influences Tangerine Dream, Pink Floyd, Dogon, B.B.King, Moody Blues, Jimmy Page, J.S.Bach, John Cage, Kraftwerk, Ludwig von B., Jimi Hendrix, Duane Allman, on and on...

Similar Artists Depends on the track; I've been compared to Enigma, Tangerine Dream, David Gilmour, Woody McBride, Steven Tibbits...I don't even know who the last two are, so I HOPE it was a compliment!

Artist History I've played guitar since childhood, got away from it for a while, and got serious about composing when I discovered what can be done on a computer these days; digital recording, loops, samples, MIDI. Computer assistance has allowed me to create the complete sound I was always after but could never produce by myself on traditional instruments. I can't adequately describe how fullfilling this experience has been. I've gotten a number of e-mails from people who say the most unbelievable things about my music...it is utterly intoxicating to have reached another person on such a level. It is something I never thought I would experience.

Group Members Just me, that I know of.

Instruments Acoustic and electric guitar, synthesizer, a microphone, many megabytes of samples and loops, and various software packages.

Albums Transfixed But Not Dead

Press Reviews People who have listen to my stuff generally say it's really good (I'm talking about strangers too, not just my wife and kids. :) )If you listen and you like, please send me an e-mail. Maybe I can print it here! And if you have songs of your own up, I promise to give a listen for a listen.
