About Me

After spending 18 years in chicago, I've relocated to small remote town in South Central Utah surrounded by a mountain to the north and sandstone canyons to the south. It's made me rethink my musical approach (how does my music fit in here? how can it be modified in terms of style - naturally of course - to fit a new setting?) the answer is my other musical project, Eyes of Ibad which features my more organic and experimental side
more guitars, melodies, and maybe even vocals to come...
imagine the tweakiness of nonplace, Orbus Terrarum era Orb, Mouse on Mars and Matthew Herbert mixed with the rock stylings of bands like Tunng, Caribou, Swervedriver, The Verve, Spiritualized, Mercury Rev, and the Flaming Lips, all blended with Krautrock spirit....

but not to worry, i have not given up the broken electonic funk thing.merely expanded my zone of creativity.
Exploring somewhere between broken beats and glitchy sonic sculpture. Try to pigeonhole it and I'm just going to confuse ya. hehehe
"Speaking of the harmony of music, I should like to say that the true harmony of music comes from the harmony of the soul. That music alone can be called real which comes from the harmony of the soul, its true source, and when it comes from there it must appeal to all souls.
Every soul differs in its choice in life, in its choice of the path it should follow. This is owing to the difference of minds, for souls, in their essence, do not differ. Therefore, whatever means be chosen to bring the different minds of the people together, there cannot be a better means of harmonizing them than music. It would be no exaggeration if I said that music alone can be the means by which all souls of races, nations and families, which are today so apart, may one day be united. The musician's lesson in life is therefore a great one. Music is not expressed through language, but through beauty of rhythm and tone which reach far beyond language. The more the musician is conscious of his mission in life, the greater service he can render to humanity...
...There are different kinds of music, each kind appealing to certain souls according to their evolution. For instance, children in the street are very pleased when beating the time, because rhythm has a certain effect upon them. But as a person evolves, so he longs for finer harmony, Why people like or dislike each other is owing to their different stages of evolution. For instance, one person is at a stage where he appreciates a certain kind of music, another one, whose evolution is greater, wants music appropriate to his evolution.
It is the same in religion. Some stick to certain beliefs and do not wish to evolve beyond. So it is possible that the lover of music may be tempted to keep a certain sort of music and will not rise further. The true way of progressing through music is to evolve freely, to go forward, not caring what others think, and in this way, together with one's development in music, to harmonize the life of one's soul, one's surroundings, and one's affairs."
- Hazrat Inayat Khan (from: The Mysticism of Sound and Music)

to find out info beyond my music, such as about my visual art, go to my personal myspace page here
i keep mixin it up more & more...combining, transmuting, lettin it all combine into some newfound madness.
hope it's candy to at least a few of your ears.
and as with most things in life, you sometimes have to get through a little confusion to get to the beautiful parts,
to the place where all of a sudden it all makes sense (at least to me)

About the current tracks in the player:


90% to 100% done on a Korg Electribe ESX
i prefer to program beats and play melodies keeping the use of phrase samples to a minimum. tried to get myself to use Ableton Live for a bit, but linear and visual music making on a computer just does not jive with me.

. . .. ... ..... ........ ............. .......................


here's a list of the equip i used to use (still use guitar and bass at times) but mostly sold off in order to work a volunteer term at Arches national Park and fund my move to the desert...
Korg ESX-1 Electribe Music Production Sampler,
Novation X-Station 25,
electric & acoustic guitar & electric bass,
akai headrush loopbox.
Korg D888 Digital Mixer/Recorder
various guitar effects pedals
the songs in this player are mostly rough drafts.
There is minimal digital mastering.
what i recorded onto the HD is whatcha get.
anyone interested in any aspect of remixitude (swapping, being, doing) or collaboration don't hesitate to say hey.
