My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 4/15/2007
Band Members:West ZooOpolis with Marco Minnemann is an ambitious new project with the über-talented German drummer, known for his breathtaking “interdependent ostinati” and heavy polyrhythmic grooves. Four independent composers will each write and record music around an extraordinary 52 minute drum solo called Normalizer 2. MIke Keneally. Mario Brinkman, Alex Machacek, Phi Yan-Zek and John and Marco will each contribute their own unique compositional approach. John's production team includes Kevin Freeby on bass and some special guests including Chris "Sub-D" Taylor. Look for a release in early 2008. It's an Animal!
Influences: You Name It. Any instrument any style. There's only two kinds of music good and bad.
