Title track of I am a bird EP released December 13th 2014.

I Am A Bird

I like to make sad music with whatever instruments are at hand.  Sometimes I make happy music, but I like the sad music the best.  I like to experiment with tuning and temperament in order to express the greatest possible sadness.  A flat minor third is so bitterly unfulfilled, and I enjoy its flavor.

A bunch of friends who make songs about people & places & plants & animals, with guitars & basses & drums & voices & keys & bows & arrows...

Music spanning many worlds - the journey takes me to many places, and i like visiting them all!   My main outlet lately is at free-form dance jams, where the movers and musicians can merge if the stars align.  I've also led my  "Vocal Voyagers" singing circles (www.myspace.com/vocalvoyagers), and also my "Instant Choir" school program (www.soundseeds.com/instantchoir.htm), and also love to play at any campfire / potluck / gathering I can.   You can check out my main website at http://www.soundseeds.com.  I've played for festivals, dance and theatre performances, schools, and many other venues, and I welcome invitations to host gatherings at which we can create together!  

My music that I create on my own (or with others) encompasses the sublime, the playful, the joyful, the contemplative, the raucous - I can't really pin myself down to one "sound,"  or one instrument - I love voice, guitar, piano, balafon, drums, and anything else I find in the moment.  Sometimes it's just a good old "song," but often I dive into looping as a way to build my own little party.   I resist having a "brand" for myself, one kind of sound that people can expect.  Maybe someday I will try to narrow my style that I put out to the public, in the meantime you (and I) never know what comes next ...
