ABOUT

I am calling my project Hidden World Music for now, and my website has the same name. You can find me on FB under that name as well.

"Curiously enigmatic"....is how one potential collaborator described my music, LOL. Although most of the samples posted are in the neoclassical/Gothic/soundtrack realm (it’s just what I do on my own), ultimately I would like to combine these styles with indie/art rock, and witchy/shamanic/tribal, experimental/ambient, among other eclectic styles, for a more dynamic result.

Overall, I’m influenced by the mysterious…that which is not obvious…the hidden…the energetic realm…the unconscious…the vast…the inner…nuances and subtleties. I write/compose mostly via iPad, keyboard and Korg WaveDrum Global (and other various drums and percussion)….and I can create music with pretty much any instrument that's around using an intuitive approach.

I’m seeking like-minded collaborators, ideally between 35-60, male or female, gay or straight. Seeking guitars/bass, keys, ethereal vocalists, orchestral musicians, multi-instrumentalists, recording nerds, anything unique. I’d also be very interested in finding someone to create (or co-create) unique and/or realistic subtle tribal influenced beats (not of the techno variety). I’m much more interested in creativity than chops/technique, but I do want to work with someone who has “some” experience and hopefully complimentary skills to mine (recording knowledge especially appreciated!). Ideally seeking to work with someone who's capable of connecting and going deep for inspiration.

This would be a “labor of love” recording project, worked on as time allows (I have a very busy work schedule). I’m a visual artist/designer as well, and I’m also very interested in creating multimedia to accompany the music.

If you’re interested, drop me a line and let’s explore the possibilities…..
