Sketalon is my outlet for compositions beyond my performing capabilities. I write them and save them in midi format for people to hear. I'd be willing to perform or record any of them with the right band, but have yet to find them in the Toronto area.
My new stuff doesn't follow the same ska-metal formula as my older songs. I've been writing with a Bass-Piano-Tuba-Drum standard arrangement for a couple years, adding solo instruments to fill them out, but lately I've branched out for a little diversity. There are only so many things you can do with a tuba.Band/artist history
Originally an outlet for a writing spree I went on for a failed ska-metal band. Once I actually learned music theory I began writing better songs in a jazz/metal/contemporary classical style I call psychadelic, and experimented with jazz and certain latin forms as well.Your musical influences
Astor Piazzolla, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Leonard Bernstein, Oscar Peterson, Astrud Gilberto, Bobby Hutcherson, The Beatles, Rene Laloux, Ralph Bakshi, Bob Marley, Pantera, Iron Maiden, John Williams, Gustav Holst, Alain Goraguer, more...

Hello and Happy New Year,
Always try to support those who
have a sense of humor.... especially the
offbeat. Keep up your hard work.

I can't access your first two songs.
The last two are good though.
I like how, in the untitled one,
it sounds all heavy and rockish and stuff,
yet I detect traces of the melody from "Summertime"
which is one of the most kick-ass melodies ever made.
Good job.
Hey people. Thanks for checkin' out my sh***. Maybe in a couple months or a year I'll actually havin' a band playin' this stuff. Feel free to leave a message.
