About Me


check out the recently updated www.rhialistic.com for more about me including several audio recordings i've done.
i play keys, guitar, melodica, sitar, and sing for the brand new Denver-area band The Future is Broken (add us!!!) . i am also an aerospace engineer (no shit!), and i'm into cooking, reading, craft and import beer, hot-n-dirty martinis, wine, playing music including electric and acoustic guitar, 7-string guitar, mandolin, piano/synth, bass guitar, theramin, sitar, melodica, and singing. also do some mean karaoke...
previously, i was in the bands Turambar (bass/vox), Somnus (keys/ vox), Dark Arena (keys/ vox), Lost State of Franklin (guitar/ mandolin/ vox), Sanctorum (bass), Avernus (vox), and was a guest musician with Derketa (keys), Acheron (vox) and October 31 (keys). Music is the best thing i sorta know...stay tuned for side projects too!
stuff that rools: creative music works , spelling common words in gnu wayz, an ostentatious/ ecclectic vocabulary, lots of music, dune, amber, tetris, sudoku, word games, craft beer, good wine, spicy bloody mary's, panAsian/ mexican/ indian food, pickled vegetables, geography, maps, outer space, quantum theory, star trek, groovin' to yer own beat, innovation, avante garde, polyglots, traveling, ones and zeros.
stuff that sux: boring average american types, sleeping in total silence, oily skin/hair, no magic hangover pill, being sick, most commercial tv & radio, advertising, product placement, no campaign finance reform, big business and big media, outrageous student loans/debt, white zinfandel, suburban sprawl, geographical ignorance, blindly following shepherds with no question WHY, archaic dogmatic thinking, people who don't realize how much most world religions have in common (cuz THEY'RE RIGHT!), obstenate behavior, pouting, grudges, xenophoia, war mongers, earth rapers.
