My protector and outta this world friend...face to face someday. Others are: Bubo the mechanical owl, Woodsie the Owl, Smokey the Bear, my stunt double, the inventor of Ramagons, Lucas Film, American Zoetrope, someone who knows how to produce glow in the dark vinyl records, someone who can produce all my CD incerts with seaweed paper and soy ink, a selected number of people that have inspired me throughout my life...
----MUSIC STYLES:
I love all Avante Garde, Musique Concrete, and Sound Collage. It all started when I'd play two tapes at the same time in my dual cassette stereo as a kid. Then I'd record them off the speaker and multitrack...
I also love bluegrass, murky blues and the combination of'em. Yup, those folks who string up cigar boxes and rattle washboards to the backbone vibe that is (to me) the very fabric of Americana sound.
Also dig full fuzz psychedelic rock that makes your old stereos sound like they're eating the tape or on the wrong speed. Kind of like finding a cassette of halloween sound effects sitting in the sunshine for too long.
