Heart and Soul (whole tone)

That song piano teachers hear too much of, as performed in the (Twilight) Zone.

Pop General

Woman on the Left

Piano, acoustic bass, and flute improvise together late at night. Lyrical.

Jazz General

Warm Water Afternoon

A vibe improv. A curve in space. Sensuous and human

New Age

Human being, Musician, have a vegetable garden, also a programmer. "I Saw Her Standing There" and "Ring of Fire" got me into music. Iron Butterfly got me into guitars, ELP the same for synthesizers. I like Eno, Black Oak Arkansas, Jane Siberry, Jaco and Weather Report, Leonard Bernstein, Varese, early Genesis and Chicago, Luscious Jackson, Jimmie Rodgers, Bukka White, Todd Rundgren, King Crimson, Middle Eastern music, Eastern European singing, Louis Armstrong, ... lots of stuff. But I don't sound like any of them.

Band/artist history

I am, I play. Was in bar bands in the 80's, and in a band that only improvised. We still write ech other.

Have you performed in front of an audience?

I like to play live. Haven't in a while.

Your musical influences

I'm having a deja vu. See the above for stuff I like. Each piece is different. Beat or not, loud or quiet, vocal or instrumental, solo or group. Musicians are supposed to make new genres, not fit into pre-existing ones.

What equipment do you use?

VS-880, little Korg X5DR, Cakewalk (sucks), my brother's electric guitar, Seagull acoustic guitar

Anything else?

Voted for Nader. Never listen to the radio. Maybe I'm already on it?
