ABOUT

My purpose as a musician is to tap into the dimension where pure creativity and divine inspiration flow....as often as possible - communicate with other musicians without the need for words. Give the gift of a spinal chill to those who listen and have a good time doing it. I find this much easier to do when pride, anger and fear are not getting in the way. I don't drink or do drugs, but don't condemn those who do provided it doesn't interfere with the preceding purpose described.

The expanding network of musicians I've been playing with has varied widely in influences so what I've recorded and posted online is not by any means the norm, but just what's come out of Jams or songs I've written alone and tested with different groups of musicians I've been playing with this year. One thing you'll find missing from ALL tracks are lead vocals. If you're a vocalist and any of the songs follow you around after you've finished listening I'd love to hear a great voice rounding the song out.

Most songs I've written/recorded are very rough cuts and describing how they're "supposed" to sound is nearly impossible unless you enjoy the same Synesthetic neurological condition I do. (s://en.wikipedia/wiki/Synesthesia).
