Acid...without the Acid

About Me

"Acid without the acid" is how B&Z were described in the Ottawa Citizen - two guitarists who "paint in sound", originally inspired by the sonic tapestries of Jimi Hendrix but adding folk, free-jazz, blues & world music etc. to the mix....spontaneous and dangerous, playing live to a backdrop of computer-generated fractal art -also: www.myspace.com/buterflieszebras www.myspace.com/altbnz http://www.ottawalivemusic.com/archives/
