Sounds

My musical projects have only gone as far as the transactional relationships I fostered to get them out. 

I only learned how to play guitar and created the Bloom Variations because I found it challenging to work with people over the long haul, let alone stay in one place after the habitual crash, burn, repeat came into play. Golden Age is my current attempt to unwind my creative process from my addictions.  

Gratitude and love to the players. Out of respect for our distance I’ll let those still alive opt in for credit. My assumption is that most would prefer being anonymous in these efforts.

Jojouka in Detroit (Video)

Interzone/Detroit – To say that the Master Musicians of Jajouka are a seminal influence doesn’t really fit. Their ‘pipes’ are something akin to thread in my material and aetheric/energetic linings. I cut my trance ritual teeth with ‘Brian Jones Presents the Pipes of Pan at Joujouka’ as the soundtrack. A cassette tape was ‘passed’ to …
