I have been playing music for some time. I studied composition formally, and I still really love to write. At this point I'd like to collaborate with a few people to see if we can get a good band sound and concept. I'd love to do something theatrical and or visual or arty. I wouldn't want to revive 70s art rock, but there were some good parts of that era that I would tap into. I fully disabuse all lengthy solos of any kind ;) other than in a jazz context, when the whole piece can be an improv. I'm pretty experimental and never like to do anything the same twice.

Dallas Tuxedo
Dallas Tuxedo Album: Melange Genre: Classic Rock
The Dallas Tuxedo is the inexpensive bass guitar that English bands played in the early 60s. Bill Wyman and John Paul Jones played one. The tune uses three tunings: DADGAD for the primary acoustic guitar part and two lap steel parts on in open G minor and open G. It is based on the chord changes of a folk/blues song called "Llanwddyn".

Urban Biota
Urban BiotaThe sonic landscape of a city has its own ecology of "organisms": the screeching sounds of metal against metal, background hum from power lines, buzzing neon, passing elevated trains, pneumatic machines--the natural sounds of a city landscape that become a quotidian experience, yet unobtrusive and perhaps has a calming effect.
