Welcome,
I spent many years expanding the range of sounds I can produce with my guitar. I perform live loops using my guitar to fabricate ambient, melodic and rhythmic sounds. I started with a single DM-2 echo pedal. My rig has included a guitar synth for almost two decades. My current rig features an Echoplex, VG-99, GR-33 and a VG-8.
My songs represent a sense of purpose and of humor. I am using a technique called live looping leveraging a wide range of unique voicings and styles availble from my sound processors.
I'm in this for the joy of music and I hope you like my stuff. Its good to see that some of you folks are listening. Its all a form of communication and I hope that my message moves and comforts you.
I've been in a number of bands but it has been sometime since I have played out with one. My first band, in high school, featured a singer that couldn't sing and two guitar players that couldn't play. We sure had fun playing basements and garages around Denver. I've been playing guitar ever since. I've been playing guitar synths for a couple of decades now. The earliest stuff I have posted is from 2001 when I made my first "album" Now I'm working on my craft enjoying the process developing my live looping show.
I'm a solo artist looking for gigs in the Bay Area doing my improvisational live looping show.
Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa, King Crimson, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Robert Fripp, and Adrian Belew.
I'm in the process of migrating to a new software looping rig. So far I've made major improvements in functionality and have been able to shed most of the gear.
