About Me

I don't consider myself a standalone musician. I've always liked my playing in a band better. For many reasons though, it's true that ninety percent of the music I make, I make alone. Sometimes I sit down and tape it, make some overdubs, put in some cheap effects, etcetera.

So what I'll be uploading here is pieces I've taped. Not necessarily well-recorded, or well-played for that matter, but what the hell --- I'd like people to listen to them nevertheless.

Enjoy.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 5/29/2007
Band Members: Basil (guitars)
Influences:

I thought about influences for some time... It's a good question to pose to oneself.

So, apart from the several musicians I've played with for some time, it's the following few people whom I often realize I'm trying to mimic:

- Alice in Chains
- Angelo Badalamenti
- Manuel Barrueco
- Miles Davis
- Philip Glass
- Jim Hall
- Keith Jarrett

I restrict the above alphabetic list to my acoustic playing and I'll feel free to complete it gradually.


Sounds Like:

Essentially, cheesy guitar music. There's obviously some people who still like that shit...



Record Label: unsigned
Type of Label: None

First Four Tunes

I just uploaded a fourth track. I think I'll leave these four as they stand for a bit --- just to have time for some feedback. Later I may change the lineup, especially if I come to tape something new...
