...and anyone else who wants to play. I've got material to work with, but I don't really have the tools to mix what I record, so I like working with different people to produce a variety of sounds. What I really need right now are some beats.
Influences: jim morrison, the velvet underground, w.b. yeats, james joyce, salvador dali, beck, andres segovia, suburban cousins, NaS, Midnite, Garnett Silk, Churchical Chants of the Nyabingi, Byzantine chant, Russian liturgical/classical, OutKast, J5, Gift of Gab, the chieftains, marleys, Luciano, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Snoop, the Neptunes, SWAMPUS, stuff from all over the world, and last but not least, my good friends: Pete O'Konski, Doug Krech, Jim Wuest, Matt Chambers, Matt Glessner, Jeff Sasin, Jeff Vonderstuck, Ras Myers, Rufus, James "Penis Williams" Hoy, Scotch Alcoholloman, Carmen Bucci, Greg Hild, Mike Montello, Andru Bemis, and Seth Darnall
