theme and freedom improvisation.
electricity, drums, silent healing resonance
Enthnomusicology and human music history.
Some bird, dog, and horse music history.
psychological theatre, thematic explorations of paradox,
acoustic creep-outs and electro funk downs
educaational songs about: space-time, funny voices, helpful maneuvers, important land purchases, our state bird, delicious sweets, serpant energies and a large list of songs about being "crazy" .
