I have played drums since 2003. Currently, I am not formally trained. However, I am primarily open minded and wish to learn and progress with other like minded individuals.
I have also played guitar since 2004. Once again, informally.......however I have quite a good deal of THEMATIC "arrangements" that I'd love to bring to life. I'd also like to play with anyone that has their own musical perception and would feel that themselves and I would benefit each other's musical progression.

MUSIC

When Robots Dance-At The End
When Robots Dance-At The End Genre: Other
"At The End" is based off of a loose chordal arrangement that often develops in different ways, much like most others I've written. I played the drums on this one as well, kind of a collage of a potential song.

When Robots Dance-Their Wings Refrain In Opposition/Sing In Whisper
When Robots Dance-Their Wings Refrain In Opposition/Sing In Whisper Genre: Other
"Their Wings Refrain In Opposition" and "Sing In Whisper" are loosely arranged chordal structures that I have been working on trying out together as of late. However, they often become their own song depending on whoever I might be playing with.

When Robots Dance-At The End (improvisations)
When Robots Dance-At The End (improvisations) Genre: Other
This is another version of "At The End" I recorded, which of course has a bit of a different inflection than the other.

When Robots Dance-Baited Tongues/Irreparable Sunrsise(excerpt)
When Robots Dance-Baited Tongues/Irreparable Sunrsise(excerpt) Genre: Other
This is a short clip of a variation of one of the first songs I'd worked upon. "Irreparable Sunrise" was(is) it's name.....but when combined with other chords it changes inflection completely. This one has vocals too, enjoy.
-
When Robots Dance-"Larry/In Disguise"
When Robots Dance-"Larry/In Disguise" Genre: Other
This particular section of a much longer piece doesn't really have a name, just some potential rhythms upon which vocals and whatnot seem to want to exist.
