Welcome to my personal MySpace music page. Although you may know me as "that guitarist" from Advent and/or Mirthrandir (assuming you know me at all), I thought it might be nice to provide a more personal view of my own musical identity. With that in mind, I sincerely hope that you enjoy these recordings.I plan to update this bio with additional information regarding all the music when time permits. In the interim, please note that both "Ramblin' Sailor" cuts simply consist of all the raw guitar tracks (no EQ, no effects, etc.), turned up to unity gain and dispersed with a little rough panning--as well as a tiny bit of an old keyboard/bass submix in the background for reference. The intent is simply to share an "under the hood" glimpse into the guitar work/orchestration contained within. It's about as "naked" as it gets, so please listen with a kind heart and open mind.
