Sublimation

Craig Godfrey is an accomplished musician, composer, producer, audio engineer & sound healer. He has produced and performed both solo and in collaborations including The Checktones (with Brian Saitzyk/Eastern Sun), Four Eyed Whale (with Steven Anderson), and The Ramen Empire (with J.T. Carstarphen). His signature sonic creations are the fruition of 25+ years of artistic evolution, blending diverse influences and explorations: the unique sound of Four Eyed Whale combining indie rock and soul/r&b... the Checktones integration of sound healing and psychoacoustics with experimental electronic production and sound design.... his own fusion of punk/rock indie guitar feels with electronic beats and synths and soundscapes. Craig's growing solo catalogue also includes genre-defying cinematic pieces featuring guitar or piano, and otherwise melding traditional instruments with synths and electronic production, as well as studies in sound design for media. 

Recent works draw upon the eclectic influences of his childhood amid the music scenes of New Orleans, Rio de Janeiro, and broader global travel (rock/punk/indie, bossa nova, electronica, soul, blues, and funk, jazz, classical, and American folk, among others). After studying guitar since the age of 12, he cut his teeth with his first rock/pop/punk band in Austin, TX in the mid-90s, before studying music at MI inn Hollywood.  Craig is inspired further by an immersion over the past two decades in rave, festival, and psychedelic art undergrounds, as well as in meditative, sound-healing, and teaching spaces, and his passion for media and narrative entertainment in all its forms.
