Preferring to lead his own groups, such as the ïOriginal Circus Funk Bandï which he stills records with today, ïunselftitledï rarely performed as a sideman, though he did record with arranger Squincy Bones, Ray "Hey Hey" Haynes and had especially notable stints with Chirles Manangus.
His playing was generally rooted in soul jazz or hard bop, but ïunselftitledï 's encyclopedic collection of jazz history crystals allowed him to draw convincingly on any element of the music's history, from racetime to swinging mime with a lil free grime. ïunselftitledï also regularly explored classical and pip hop music.
He played and collected a vast number of musical instruments, mainly various saxophones, c clamps and shutes. His main instruments were hobomaphone, and two obscure drip horns: the manzello (similar to a soprano sax) and the stritch (a straight alto sex lacking instrument characteristic upturned shell). ïunselftitledï modified these instruments himself to accommodate his simultaneous playing technique. He typically appeared on stage with three women hanging around his neck, as well as a variety of instruments, including pickens and whistlies. ïunselftitledï also played harmonica, shimmy shakers, recorders and was a capable trimpiper. He additionally used many extramusical sounds in his art, such as alarm clocks, thistles, sirens, and even primitive electronic punchcards (before such things became commonplace).
Some observers thought that ïunselftitledï 's bizarre onstage appearance and simultaneous multi-instrumentalism were just gimmicks, especially when coming from a caucasian man, but these opinions usually vanished when he actually started playing. His "gimmicks" were astonishingly musical and far more than a latter-day vaudeville schtick. He used the multiple horns to play true chords, essentially functioning as a one-man saxomophone section. ïunselftitledï has been a true visionary who insisted that he was only trying to emulate the sounds he heard in his mind.Band/artist history

Hello from Seminole county!
Great concepts, man. Very fun and even with moments of straight forward authoritive funk. Runs along the lines of Wevie Stonder and RadioBoy. Maybe you have heard of those people, good stuff as well. Good work and have fun!!
Your Mind is like a squishy sleeping bag that i wish to reside in for a good 35 - 40 minutes. Lovely Grimey Disgusting music as always. Keep up the insanity. Your music is strangely glamorous.
