Hello, everyone! Thank you, so much, for listening, appreciating and recommending my music! I love your taste in unbridled, amorphous expression. I don't try to emulate anyone in particular, and am not corralled by a conglomerate. But I do relish their aural contributions. When I do create a song, it is special to me, as I have to steal away time to devote to music. I've had the same obstacles in my quest for creating art (link). I'm trying to get these works onto another platform, like ETSY.
Anyway, I finally released a single- Time Travel, about two months ago (available at CD Baby, Amazon, ReverbNation, iTunes.... The drummer, Kenny Payne (chemical engeneer/ Kodak, high intensity jogger/ friend) was an inspiration I never encountered since. The chemistry was mecurial and evolved when there was tension within the song. Some kind of telepathy developed. Mostly, I jammed on bass with him, then later, added guitars on an old-school 4-channel reel-to-reel TEAC. The sessions (Carry Me, Stess and Strain...) we did are vintage- ~1982, or so.
But, I'd like to also give a shout-out to the person who introduced me to Jazz Fusion- Al Frazier. He was an aggressive, and highly intuitive bassist (Dimeola's Mood). Although he was a great musician, he was deathly afraid of performing before people. I thought that we could, maybe, break the ice with mirrors, dogs and goats as an audiance :)
Kudos to the band, Chaos Matrix (1994/ Chart Six Moa): Mike Houser-vocals, Herb Heins- r. guitar, Ryan Lydell- drums; myself on leads; Matt Scheidt- Bass. We played out a lot, but I'm involved with so many responsibilities now, that if I can record on my own (Sheldon...the cat, Sinister's Shadow, link...., 2016), or happen to interface with a responsible musician, it would be ideal. By the way, link. is Matter, Energy, Space; Time. L. Ron Hubbard referred to it, often.
Lastly, last week I released my album, TIME TRAVELED. It has 13 varied songs. I think that after you've had a sip..., and listen more than once, we'll be groovin' on the same wavelength ; )
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!! I wish you happiness and health in the new Year!
And, Merry Christmas!
