About Me

Dr. Maybe is channelled by Beirut-born guitarist and composer John Prusinski. A global nomad, steeped in ethnic traditions, psychedelic music, trance and electronica, he composed and recorded the CD Kokoro Ire over a period of three years. The final touches were recorded in an isolated retreat in the wilds of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia in the summer of 2003.

Kokoro Ire is an eclectic blend of world music, electronica, and electric guitar. It is a soundtrack for a movie from another dimension, set in a future where the descendants of Earth populate desert worlds, and massive starships, like overcrowded Eastern bazaars, teem with intrigue, magic, and strange beauty.

"A sonic masterpiece that creates an aura with some truly staggering guitar-textural design and eastern mystical bent, the 2004 CD from Dr. Maybe, Kokoro Ire, arrives in style sounding like a hybrid '60s spy flick genre vibe mixed up in the exotica blender with some serious drum and bass trip-hop riffs. Guitarist John Prusinski is masterful at mixing light and shade and the heady mix of intense electric guitar and spacy electronics really has its moments. Sometimes the sound is truly heavy rock riffing but the depth of the more atmospheric moments carries the heavier moments. Fully exploring the realms of modern music, Kokoro Ire is a real treat for fans of genre-bending, experimental electric guitar sounds."
--20th Century Guitar Magazine

"Kokoro Ire succeeds on many levels, and is a strong production from start to finish. Although similar musical themes abound, the songs never repeat themselves and they hold the listener's attention throughout the album. Kokoro Ire isn't just for fans of electronicaâ€”it's chock-full of Prusinski's stellar guitar playing too, and when combined with all the ethnic influences from around the world, it adds up to a truly unique musical experience."
