04 - John Kline - Rixile Elixir

Wet Present is a record label, wholly owned by John Kline, for "The Music Therapy Experiment." and "John Kline.." 

John P. Kline, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist and multi-instrumentalist whose music spans classical, rock, jazz, and New Age. A lifelong admirer of classical composers and performers, Kline brings that sensibility into a catalogue that moves easily between heavy guitar work, improvisational passages, and ambient soundscapes.

He composes, performs, engineers, mixes, and masters his own recordings, shaping music that is eclectic yet deeply personal. His solo releases sit alongside his work under the name The Music Therapy Experiment (TMTE), a project built on collaborations with guest musicians while always centered on Kline’s compositions and recordings. A handful of tracks feature him alone, while others highlight the voices of collaborators, including Mark Christianson. The project’s name came from Kline’s own candid description of himself during a difficult time: “a music therapy experiment.”

Across all of his work, the common thread is curiosity. Whether listeners connect with reflective textures, jazz-inflected improvisation, or the drive of rock guitar, Kline’s music treats sound as an open-ended experiment — sometimes calm, sometimes restless, always human.
