Written, recorded, performed, and produced by Derick Howard.

Breaking Out Of The Matrix

Derick performs solo as a "One Man Jam Band" by using an audio sampler to record loop tracks ("Live") on his guitar, bass, percussion, and vocals to make the sound of a full band. Recent uploaded tracks are a more production style of music that is completely experimental and made out of the urge to create something without barriers of what can or cannot be performed completely live.
