K2mia is one of the online personas of long-time internet junkie Andrew Cowan. Andrew is essentially a one-man-band who has been toying around with acoustic and electric guitar for over 25 years. Andrew plays a Martin JC-16ME acoustic, Fender stratocasters, Brian Moore iGuitars and a Dean bass. He composes and records from home and uses a Roland Guitar Synthesizer and a Boss digital recording studio. Andrew has collaborated with other musicians via online collab sites and has produced a few songs as a result that are posted here, most of the tracks were solo projects.
His main influences are David Gilmour of Pink Floyd, Alex Lifeson of Rush, Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead and Elliott Smith.
His work consists of instrumental and experimental rock pieces.
Andrew played in a few bands in his youth in the CT area where he grew up, though never for more than the fun of it. Now he flies solo and composes/records all of the tracks involved with his music.
Unfortunately, being a one-man band would make live performances of my music very difficult. I am very interested in online music collaboration and would love to work with others in that capacity - consider this an open invitation to anyone that shares my musical tastes that is interested in online collaboration.
