Looking for rhythm

About Me



All recordings are more-or-less improvised jam sessions or rehearsals.

I have no idea what to write about 'me'. My personality is a dichotomy of several parts. On one hand there is the very unmusician musician - which actually means that I am a musician but don't look it, don't act it and don't do many things that musicians do, which is why the 'unmusician' tag gets slapped on me. Throw in the 'real' me which is goofy, fun-loving-yet-ambiverted, and animal-loving-yet-meat-eating. Blend unequal portions of these personality traits and you might end up with a concoction with my name on its label and no Surgeon Generals warning. Just don't forget to read the fine print.

I like road trips and 'getting away', movies, 'real' people, animals, mountain biking, hiking, live music, photography...Visit www.planetxanadu.com for more about me, links to music I have worked on and other stuff.
