About Me

The Sparkiovoggel plays with voice, instruments, sounds, and programming often layered with effects and psychedelic weirdness. Half mad scientist, half adventuresome Fraggle, half cynical shuffler. Three-halves?!
"THIS IS GREAT! Think of a capella on crack, with occasional passes into late 60s psych and avant garde contemporary classical music... Really funny, kind of disturbing, very interesting. " - KZSU
New release 'Sample Platter' now available at cdbaby.com!

Thank you for supporting weirdness in the arts!
