Currently, I am not able to leave comments or upload media. Apparently emails were bounced back when my paid email lapsed. I get the message of unregistered email address. I am working on a fix 😜 

Influences ranging from early electronica, experimental, classical/baroque, new wave, new age, and progressive rock. I've recorded under numerous pseudonyms – Galaxy Soundwave Project, Hidden Temple of Saturn, BetwixtRx, Rhythmosis, and Melvin Mantis of Ataien, just to name a few.

My project, Turquoise Avenue (2015-2018), had 56,000+ downloads and double that number in listens on Jamendo. 

Did I mention this profile was once called Back Trax?  I ditched that moniker when I shifted gears. Back Trax  focused on creating hypnotic hip-hop instrumental backing tracks – those have since found a new home on another platform.

 Links below. My Influences and music styles ranging from basic to progressive rock, with definite Retro seventies sound. If you enjoy the sound of Moody Blues, George Harrison, Genesis, Dead Can Dance, and others of the same style, more or less, you will probably like this music. I use quite a bit of Mellotron and acoustic fingerstyle guitar as well. My original goal was visual art, and I have many works in private and public collections. But I switched by instinct to home production, which is not dissimilar to painting. There is a huge pallet of noises and sounds at my disposal.

Studio rat. Genre hopper. Bass & piano player. Writer and builder. Lover of cheeseburgers.

I specialize in the "mistakes are interesting" school of production. So depending on your point of view my selections will either be sloppy or chock full of character. Feel is king. I hate making music with a mouse. Real pianos, tube guitar amps, and a lifetime of listening applied. 

Music and production I like for various reasons: 70's style jazz fusion, Headhunters during Chameleon phase, Frank Zappa, George Duke, Lou Reed, Bill Laswell, Rudy Van Gelder, Tower of Power, The Crusaders, The Meters, Steve Earle, Dwight Yoakam, John Prine, Kev Hopper, Mark Egan, Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller, Art Pepper, Thelonious Monk, Charles Bukowski, Larry Graham, Peter Gabriel, Niacin, Spinal Tap, Bros. Johnson, Bootsy, Jamerson, Die Kreuzen, Dead Kennedys, Film Noir, The Cramps, Propaganda, Buddy Holly, Surf Guitar, Captain Beefheart, Neil Young, Syd Barrett, Pink Floyd, Steely Dan, Rolling Stones, Western Swing, Scrunch up your nose stank Funk, modular synth music, ambient, soundtracks, early pre-baroque music.
