About Me

I'm have been playing and recording music for a short life spans amount of time.(that's subjective I guess...) and still have a tremendous amount of passion and enthusiasm with regards to writing and playing. I don't know whom or who I might sound like, irrespective of my indifference to tags. I make music for me-- for art-- for pleasure-- for spiritual nourishment and..and... for anyone who gets some kind of cathartic sense and/or feeling stirring inside their very 'code;' from these shabbily 1 to 4 track recordings or performed tidings.. (Most of these tracks are basically live recordings, that utilize a very sensitive external microphone.) I also play in a outfit called Last Place, in which I'm fortunate to be 'working' with an excellent musician and friend. I will be continuing to record and play shows from time to time. Some of my hobbies include, listening to music, eating popcorn, walking, fashion, art, reading, writing and acting BUT most of all, I take great pleasure, heart and satisfaction in engaging in meaningful communication of all denominations. O.k. mates, ciao, cheers, à revoir! I welcome your messages and comments. Thank you.
