About Me

Acoustic guitar picker. Avante gard style. Lost 1/2 my vocal chords thru some sort of virus/nerve thing and have not been able to sing since. So I became a freestyle picker. My music is inspired by the places I go, the things I see, the friends I meet...experiences put to sound. Set this up to share this original music with all who choose to listen... I like to experiment with different tunings, different effects and different sounds to make music...everything from squeeks in the floor to whistling.. thnx, REA........................... ps. chk out my full website www.kritmon.com ....Peace!So the 4th cd: 'Fore For Four' is now finished and available thru my website or here. My endeavor into the common language called 'Music'. Enjoy!...........................................

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 27/04/2007
Band Website: www.kritmon.com/REA/REA.html
Band Members: REA - all guitarwork, drum programing, didjeridu(played with respect to the Aboriginal culture that created it), mouth whistling & synth. Most guitar parts are played @ one time with one guitar using finger picking. No overdubs. There are exceptions though.. note: Didgeridoo on 'The RedKnot Wind' - Dirk Barkemeijer de Wit; Clay Pot percussion on 'Two The Sea' - Larry Mahlis;Thanks to Living Luminaries for these items We should listen to the ways of old...they teach us much The Land Owns Us

Influences: These are only a few...I could go on and on...and these are only the musical influences. Everything from Harry Belefonte to Led Zep. Bluegrass, metal, reggae, electronic, ambient, world, trance ... you name it...Captain Beyond(one of the most underrated rock bands ever), Ali Farka Toure, James Brown, Sly & Family, George Clinton, Wilson Pickett, Pink Floyd, Leo Kottke, Michael Hedges, Tangerine Dream, Van Halen, Jean Michel Jarre, Def Leppard, Trance Mission, The Orb, Jimi, Jah Wobble, Gabrielle Roth, Bela Fleck, Earl Scruggs, New Grass Revival, Allman Brothers, Peter Tosh, Bob and Ziggy Marley and many many more. I've probably listened to and liked at least something about it all. Also, two personal musician friends...Richard Crampton (BoJet), without whom I'd never have become the picker I am and Dan Weldon for the friendship, encouragement, criticism & recording my 1st cd. Thankyou from my heart and soul. My mother is the one responsible for my wide tastes in music. As kids, I remember she listened to everything and I absorbed that eclectic taste thru osmosis. Thanks Mom!.......... And now a treat ... a mtn bike slide show with 'Jam9' as the background music... from the NUKERboys: Click the 'Jam9' pic to listen/watch... Enjoy the ride!
