NEWS
I have recently done a LOT of re-tracking and re-mastering of my songs and added a few NEW ones in as well. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed creating them.

Comming from a seemingly austere american indigenous background, how could I NOT be a bit eccentric?
I have played in a few rock and metal bands throughout my life and had a good time. About 20 years ago, I began building a home-music recording studio. I started with an old acoustic guitar, an old flute, and a 4-track analog recorder.
I am regarded as being very versatile with music. I play many instruments and cover a lot of genres. I am a one-man-studio-band who continues to re-track and re-mix my songs to be as near studio production work as possible.

Why this name?
Indigenous spiritual ancestors name. (Not to be confused with "Chief Thundercloud" the actor).
Do you play live?
No live performances at this time.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet gives independent musicians the opportunity to display their creativity and subsiquent love for music.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I might consider it.
Band History:
After years of playing in bands and writing music, I found myself destitute and living in a cabin out in the wild. With nothing but an acoustic guitar, I began writing and playing songs like never before.
Later, I got back on my feet and built a home studio in an apartment. The songs I had written all those years in the cabin began to take shape. Songs like "Backfields", "Feathers in the Wind" etc. were the first to be recorded and later re-recorded as I upgraded my gear.

Your influences?
I was a guitar player and singer much influenced by such artists as "Jimi Hendrix" and "Blackfoot". My acoustic influences were from flutists like "Carlos Nakai" and the acoustic guitars of "Crosby, Stills, Nash, Young" and various other acoustic artists.
Equipment used:
For keyboards, I used a triton rack through an Alesis pro-keyboard. Some older tracks were done on an old acoustic piano with mics placed inside. I used Yamaha and and Alvarez acoustic guitars and a variety of electric and bass guitars. Flutes were done on a silver orchestral flute and a variety of Apache flutes, most of which I designed and built myself.
