His Left Hand
Unusual music for unusual people.
Hi...His Left Hand's music is a grand conglomeration and synthesis of a number of musical elements. Rhythms, found-sounds, drones, melodies, beats, aberrant noise, electronic feedback and all musical traditions through the centuries are fair game for the blender.
Although, I'm proudly genre free, it is hoped that you will hear much familiarity.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
His Left Hand is a very loose amalgamation of my alter egos. Please feel free to use the message board for thoughts, feedback, philosophy, political rants, etc.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Nope...maybe someday I will rent a church or cathedral and do an all-nighter
