Gazilcher is a music project founded by Bob Kurthy (me) in 2007, and features occasional guests.

Although I am a drummer, most of the material here is midi-programmed (including the "drums") using a DAW on a PC, keyboard midi-controller and a hand-held digital audio recorder.

I program the beats, and generally avoid using prefab' loops. I occasionally use my own samples, including obnoxious macaw shrieks, various baby/toddler vocalizations, fetal heartbeats, toys, and accidental voice mails from people who "butt-dial" me.

Some influences here include, but are not limited to, most sub-genres & eras of Progressive Rock, 70s/80s horror/sci-fi/action film soundtracks, New Wave, Krautrock, cheesy Metal, etc.

Many of these songs are instrumental vignettes. A few have been expanded through collaboration with comedic vocals. I would like to collaborate further with other artists, in possibly a non-comedic way.
