NEWS   No news is good news
My name is Eric, musician, was born May 10th 1972,and the rest, as they say,is history. Hope you enjoy.
Why this name?
My name shortened.
Do you play live?
As of now? No. Would I like to again?,Sure,I miss it. Playing out and doing shows is one of the greatest things in the world!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Oh absolutely, maybe for the better perhaps for the worst but if nothing else it made the transportation and sharing of music convienient.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
No,regretfully the business end of music is the rape of all things pure and genuine in regards to music in and of itself and the art of creativity as a whole.
Your influences?
For me, anything really can be considered an influence as well as an inspiration.I think the top few who has had the biggest impact on me as a musician has to be Steve Vai,Randy Rhoads,Triumph,Dokken and Dream Theater. As much as I'm inspired by other musicians, I'm equally influenced by visual artists such as Salvadore Dali, Monet, H.B. and William Webb. My inspirations come also from not only other guitarists but bassists, drummers and certain vocalists such as John Arch, and not to mention keyboardists as well. I thank God for the gift of music, and as long as we're all able to create,does it really matter where the inspiration comes from? Just so long as it keeps coming,we're good.
Favorite spot?
Downstairs in, as my wife has named "The Dungeon", Crystal Blue Studios.
Equipment used:
Ibanez guitars. Marshall Amps.
Korg keys and soft synths. Morley,Digitech,Boss pedels.
D'Addario,Blue Steel strings.
Fender jazz pics.
Shure mics.
Nick-knacks galore.
Anything else...?
I would however like to thank the gentleman, genius rather, for the artwork that I chose to use for the CD cover. I wrote his name down somewhere............that there is the problem,SOMEWHERE! But other than that,nada.

There's actually a funny story behind where I got the name to this, well, maybe not so much, but anywho.One day as I was doing a bit of God's work, I was reading 'Uncle John's Bathroom Reader', naturally, and I came across , oh nevermind.

Short, sweet and directly to the point. Anthem is dedicated to all musicians worldwide, without whom, the world would stop.

This is the final trilogy on the album.Penduluum starts with a middle-eastern kind of feel which leads right into the 'free association of life and death' section.Coming Home is the last song on the album.

Well,it came down to a coin toss between which version would be on the album.The first version won.

Yeah!!! the synth horn melodies are very fun. The time changes are smoooooooothe and elaborate at the same time. But you know my favorite part is the Q+A guitar solos before the final refrain of horns. You are a really smokin' guitar player!!!!!!

Again yet again so amazingly creative...The baby hauntingly cries and speaks and a chanting man of great devotion...Very very beautiful...TOday I was meditating and I heard ambient music never before heard in the ethers three times...I was chakra balancing and I often fall into a deep trance and I heard celestial music....threeeeeee times.. wheeeeeee!!!!!!!Way cool...
THis song you created that was minus guitar but greatly ambient in textures is wonderful....People may take it as dark.. but the psyche in meditation is in the scarlet dark radiance behind the eyes closed yet illuminated by consciousness...One may definitely find peace in the dark.. SOme people dont get that...But the terrain of the soul is definitely dark and mystical ....as seen through human observation...But to the soul on the flip side is light....Okay done with my long disertation on Meditation and Higher consciousness...SOme times I do go on....lol.... BLessings In love and light always, Katherine
Hi Eric, I just checked Transcendence Pt.2, it's really good.
The only thing I can criticize is the Snare... a little weak. But that doesn't affect the music.

I really liked the fact that you were not afraid to push it a bit, scores are often played on the safe side and can be a bit predictable, this had some nice edge. I hear a trap set, I am so use to hearing canned drums, very cool! Well done, very nice!!!!
