This is a site I use to post work I have created or been a partner to, as well as a platform to connect and collaborate with musicians from around the world who are interested in challenging, or thought provoking musical compositions. My studio includes Logic 9 and tons of analogue and digital equipment. I tend to work fairly quickly, but the more interesting a project, the more I want to do the best I can to add something profound, so time is relative. My stylistic interests include everything as long as it is good, although I am not a huge fan of most of what passes for music on the radio these days. I enjoy writing and playing, and I am comfortable with most styles. I currently have 2 "long distance" projects that are on-going, but would love to collaborate with others, with the goal of releasing our collaborations to the public, even if only electronically!
Definitive interests and influences include the usual suspects:
The Beatles, Early Stones (through 1975), Paul Revere and the Raiders, The Who, etc,
but also:
Prog - Genesis/Gabriel/Hackett, Emerson,ELP/The Nice, etc
Canterbury - Hatfield, Softs, Caravan, Gong,etc
Zeuhl - Can, Magma, Neu!, etc
R.I.O - Henry Cow, Aqsac Maboul, Muffins, etc
Bop and Free Jazz - too many to list, but Miles, Shepp, Pharoh, McCoy, Threadgill, AACM, etc..
Fusion - Return to Forever, McLaughlin, etc
And so on. You get the picture. I also love 70s and 80's Southern Cali punk, and British Proto-Punk (the Jam, and did I mention XTC?) through a lot of the good new wave from the 80's (Japan,Prefab Sprout, etc)
Classical - Schoenburg, Eisler, Messiaen, etc
*whew*
I was also a fan of the 45. Two songs, approximately 7-10 total minutes to state your case. Nice...

I have been a musician for over 30 years, and have played live with musicians like Eyvind Kang, Dave Trenkel, Burned Mind and Fred Challenor as well as with members of Caveman Shoestore, The Tone Dogs, Jade Warrior, Group Du Jour, Thinking Plague, Hamster Theater and others, and have opened for everyone from Nirvana and the Sun City Girls to Elliot Sharp and They Might be Giants. I currently play music with Daniel Crommie, Bruce Hazen, Colin Henson, David Duhig, Jon Davis Miller, and some great avant-garde musicians in Argentina. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in creating something cool!

Cast a Long Shadow



What did the old man say? Are you free to leave? Can we go today?
will he try to block your way, burning the bridges to home

Walking down a country road. A little tired, a little old
never doing what were told - the fading fire, the growing cold
feel the match burning down...down to the skin
where I begin and you cast a long shadow...


When did I lose the plot? the missing script? The random thought?
Were you sold or was I bought, nothing is quite what it seems
all the tiny, random things. the little joys, and silent springs?
attached to each and every string, the further distance from home


Walking down a country road. A little tired, a little old
never doing what were told - the fading fire, the growing cold
feel the match burning down...down to the skin
where I begin and you cast a long shadow...


What did the old man say? Are you free to leave? Can we go today?
do we need to run away, burning the bridges to home
do we need to run away, burning the bridges to home
do we need to run away, burning the bridges to home

What did the old man say? Are you free to leave? Can we go today?
do we need to run away, burning the bridges to home
do we need to run away, burning the bridges to home
do we need to run away, burning the bridges to home....
