I was glad to contribute some guitar parts to this summer confection from Marcus and Martin of Splintered Finger @fraudstein.

For those keeping track at home, Splintered Finger created the basic tracks as an open collaboration. I added that melodic 70's-style rhythm guitar part as well as a spacey guitar pad. The first solo is also me. The second solo comes courtesy of the always distinctive and ever rippin' Martin Reed @its-tophonicus. Then Jörg @joerxworx brings his smooth and sexy alto (you can hear more of that horn here: https://soundcloud.com/joerxworx/sax-on-sunrise-redemption-by-splintered-finger) Finally Martin picks it up again and takes it all the way home and beyond. Martin also edited and mixed. 

This track kept me good company recently on a particularly salty week away from work. I'll keep it posted until the end of summer, or whenever summer ends for me, anyway.

Hi! I do have another profile, name beginning with the letter 'Q' but this channel is solely to creatively share fantastic Soundcloud talent!! Wishing all the best to all of you!! - C.

Current: The Analgesic Arthritics; Youth Is Wasted; Also, solo projects alone and w others. History: Ivan, Ian & Averil (70's);  Reeves Nevo & The Cinch (80's - this was an original LA band - we also got the prom band part in the 1982 movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High);  David & Annie (to date).  Eclectic; Original and Cover Tunes, some Shorts. We did our first collaboration overseas with Amanda and Pete Sanderson and hope to add Youth Is Wasted to many more with them and others.  Lately, also in a weekend casual cover band, for lack of a better name, Dudes are Dads ...

On YouTube, at my Barnesivan8 channel, you can see QUITE primitive homemade videos of these songs; I am about the music as a singer, songwriter, guitarist plus ... still, I am trying to grow my totally raw iMovie video skills as I go. However, that is NOT where I live.  So, if you go there, close your eyes and listen, lol, view at your own risk! 

It has been a real joy to have music return these last years. I co-raised a family in the interim, so this channel started as a place to put my kids' talent shows etc., -- they still remain on the YouTube channel. We have all grown! Thank you for checking us out and please do Enjoy! and Subscribe/Follow!  SoundCloud is such an awesome space!!  Thank you all!

Supporting our wonderful fellow musicians on SoundCloud

A laboratory with an open bar and floating altar. Come on in! 

Here are various solo and collaborative projects - songs, soundscapes, live looped solo guitar improvisations. 

This project used to be called "imaginary friends", but it became too real for that name, as did many of you.

I hope you enjoy something you find here. Do feel free to be in touch, you never know what might happen.  

I also invite you to attend @hypnopompetus, a duo project with the illustrious Cheesemont Paisley-Paisley https://soundcloud.com/sel-sync, and Fictive Sisters, a transatlantic band with  the incomparable Wheelwright https://fictivesisters.bandcamp.com/album/immaculate-distraction.

Let us write some lines in a poem, let us conquer a place in a painting..
