solid, sensual, organic, electronic music, timeless and multi-layered, seamlessly interwoven with live instrumentation, and rooted in diverse and complimentary musical genres. respectfully grounded in tradition, but pursuing the freedom necessary to break new ground, hands upon black earth is another step in the evolution of electronic-based music.

sensual and pensive. meditative and exultant. flowing, languorous beats with a hard and unrestrained backbone. inspired words. pain and passion. desire and expectation. a union of love and will. these are some of the elements that unite to create hands upon black earth.

containing layered symbols and hidden devotions, hands upon black earth is a representation of a process of personal exploration and expansion, pushing against convention and expectation. a widely varied yet continuous, lush, 63-minute electronic and acoustic tapestry of auditory experience, this album is a doorway to the seen and unseen.
Why this name?
...so she answered him, bending down, a lambed flame of blue, all-touching, all penetrant, her lovely hands upon the black earth, & her lithe body arched for love ...
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
it encourages more diversity, empowers the independent musician, but also dilutes the quality of work, thus making it harder to find good stuff.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Not unless it was completely under my terms
Your influences?
my influences have more to do with the quality of delivery, rather than the genre or style. If the emotion is there, the sincerity is there, and the music is powerful, then I'm with it.

Equipment used:
Logic Audio on a Mac, Korg and Roland Synths, Epiphone Dot guitar, Fender Jazz Bass, and DW drums.
