awesome work on a high level, great collab !!

We are proud to present a new progressive rock track we have been working on. On request by Mirko Borach https://soundcloud.com/stringburner, a great and talented bass player, who made the initial composition by way of a bass arangement and beautiful drum section by Danny Handler both Jason Rubenstein and I joined in. Jason Rubenstein is a multi-facetted, brilliant keyboardist and established name in the genre. I picked up my Fender guitar to complete this quartet effort. 
Mirko set up many different sections to this track that grooves, sings and screams. Danny's drum parts add richness in texture and fine details everywhere. Jason juxtaposed some extra tension in the harmonic chord arrangements, which served as great and rich material for the guitar parts, as well as quite a surprise in the piano solo. 
We had a blast writing, arranging and recording and hope you will enjoy the musical explorations in this track called "The Organic Machine".

This site is for my musical avatar or alter ego. Architect/partner/company owner by day, I find myself playing guitar and writing these tracks in afterhours, at nights, evenings, when in need of a dose of guitar sounds. You will find a wide range of guitar oriented music, ranging from Jazz to Blues, Flamenco to Classical, Rock to Fusion. And many collaborations with some great musicians.

I have been playing guitar since I was 11 years old, largely self-taught and have tried different styles and instruments: Renaissance lute, flamenco guitar, classical guitar, steel string guitar and electric guitar with which I have been playing in styles ranging from rock and metal in my early years to classical music, some American Folk music, jazz rock, prog rock, flamenco nuevo and fusion.

It’s been a splendid time here so far, in collaborating with a lot of brilliant musicians on SoundCloud and sharing ideas and the passion for music. 
My collaborations are with musicians that I have a deep respect for and have a mutual appreciation for real instruments, and musical styles that focus on letting the instruments “shine”. 

Here is some technical data:
Currently I am using Amplitube and Auria on an iPad as DAW with Final Touch for mastering. For acoustic recording I use an Apogee microphone.

Guitars are:
Fender AMERICAN ELITE STRATOCASTER® HSS SHAWBUCKER, 2016
Fender Stratocaster Squire (first edition: JV-series)
Ibanez JS100, Joe Satriani model
Evh Frankie Striped MN Relic R/W/B

Marín, Modelo Estudio /9 Calidad, 1997, Malaga, Spain, flamenco guitar

I hope you will enjoy my music.
