Gary-7 + Musician in Longmont, CO

SEEKING

ABOUT

- My tastes range from blues, jazz, fusion, funk, ambient, rock, acoustic fingerstyle, experimental, improvisation and electronica.
I'm self taught, play by ear and I tend to practice daily as a ritual. My current focus are more jazz oriented progressions, instrumental acoustic and electronic.

- I was a member in the electronica band WindupSpaceship for two years. We recorded our impov sessions and now periodically help each other with personal projects.

- I am available for studio work and soundtracks. If you have a band that plays originals with some interesting covers, I can add allot to the sound that you may not have thought of before with guitar synth. I am open to forming a band that is focussed on ambient, electronic and improv blues jazz fusion influences.

- My usual rig setup consists of a Godin guitar with 3 outputs. I use a Roland guitar synthesizer with a volume pedal that I use with my left foot. I control the synth patches while playing. My right foot controls another volume/wha pedal connected to a 4 channel guitar amplifier where each channel is set up with different effects. I am able to mix electric and acoustic guitar sounds directly on the guitar. I can blend synth and guitar sounds and effects, or, focus on one or the other. I connect the equipment to 2 separate channels on a mixing board and create a stereo sound.

- I suggest going straight to my Sound Cloud page to listen to my added tracks, portal_3 on Sound Cloud
This way you can see the musicians and instrumentations involved. The added tracks below are more guitar influenced to give example of my playing.
