ABOUT

The first three of the tunes I posted here were “live-looped”, so... one take, no overdubs, no edits, warts ‘n’ all.

The last four are some of my algorithmic compositions.
For these I write code that generates musical stuff based on rules I specify, and then I fiddle around with in Logic Pro X.

Z7
This is a rehearsal with my drummer friend, “Jamie”.
Z7 is an original tune. I like odd meters.
I played all the parts, except drums, on my looping pedal
It’s pretty rough, but wtf.

Gnossienne No. 1
Gnossienne No. 1 is my only “cover tune”.
It’s by composer Erik Satie.

Influences

Too many to list but "Frank Zappa" is at the top of the list.
This doesn't mean that I try to play or compose like FZ.
He's just a major inspiration and musical hero for me.
