"Magic is what we do. Music is how we do it." -- Jerry Garcia

Welcome to my page, my peers, associates, friends, and musical family. I'm a lifelong, multi-instrumentalist musician who records prolifically and joyfully. You'll hear me play guitar, bass (regular four string, and four and five string fretless), mandolin, banjo, keys (piano, organ, synth), lap slide, sitar, and sing on my recordings here. I've been in a few dozen bands in my life, playing everything from bluegrass, jazz, rock, jam band, reggae, funk, afrobeat, Middle Eastern, traditional Irish, singer/songwriter, pop/covers, to experimental/avant garde. 
  Since I found SoundCloud a couple years ago, I've found many talented, creative people with whom to create music. However, in the summer of '23 I formed a band called The Eclectic Collective with some of my favorite musicians I've met through here. It started as a loose collective of musicians and coalesced into a core group of musicians who find other musicians with whom we'd like to make music, then run their songs through our process, and in effect add a full band. That core of The Eclectic Collective includes Tez (Llanpsych), J.J. Terrel, Ken (K2 and the Three), Stephen (Texmex Shaman), Chris (cgmaness), and Mark (mistermark). A couple of other musicians are frequent collaborators, as well, including Artur of Surfers Like Us, and Steve Vervaet of Steve's World. More recently, we've been joined by Carl of The Beautiful Dark fame. 
  The magic of music is amplified exponentially by each person adding to it. So, we really try to add our sorcery all kinds of music from all kinds of artists. Sometimes, we keep it within the group, but a lot of what we do is collaboration with other artists. Therefore these days, 100% of what I do is collaboration, within the group or with other artists on the side.
  I, and we, are also available for hire if you have a song or lyrics and you really want to add bigger instrumentation or a band and good production to it. 
  A small sampling of the artists whom I consider primary influences, and whom you will hear coming through my fingers include Phish, The Flaming Lips, The Grateful Dead, Radiohead, Rye Cooder, Steve Earle, Miles Davis, Fela Kuti, Arcade Fire, Mikey Dread, Yellowman, Purpleman, The Meditations, Michigan and Smiley, Lee Perry, Dillinger, Django Reinhardt, Impossible Recording Machine, The Allman Bros Band, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Bela Fleck, Les Claypool, Sam Bush, David Grissman, John Prine, Talking Heads, Beastie Boys, MMW, Moe., Morphine, Ween, Steve Lukather, Michael McDonald, John Abercrombie, Dave Holland, John Scofield, Victor Wooten,  Cannonball Adderly, Thelonious Monk, Flea, Parliament Funkadelic,  Frank Zappa, Prince Paul, Pete Rock, Thievery Corporation, Amon Tobin, Chet Baker, Joao Gilberto, Stan Getz, Astrud Gilberto, Carol Kaye, Tame Impala, Mumford and Sons, Japanese Breakfast, LCD Soundsystem, Beach House, Sean Lennon, and Billy Strings, but of course there are many more. I also really like and am influenced by traditional Iranian, Palestinian, Indian, Sri Lankan, Sudanese, Mauritian, Somalian, Egyptian, West African, and Syrian music. I welcome anyone who plays non-western music to contact me for a collaboration, too.
 I'm overjoyed to have found my community on SoundCloud. This is a truly unique forum where everyone is sincerely trying to build each other up. The profoundly supportive and positive SoundCloud community has really opened up an exciting new world of collaboration for me. That is the main reason I'm in the Cloud, actually, to connect with other musicians and make music that I enjoy listening to, and hopefully others do, as well. I am ALWAYS looking to collaborate with interesting musicians, mostly though BandLab, which is where I record almost exclusively. It's a solid, free digital audio workstation hub where you can share recording projects, even if it's not where you make your recordings.
  Everything I do is live instrumental, not programmed, and using no computer beyond my phone. That's not to say that I would be opposed to using that kind of tool, it's just not my preferred medium with which to paint. If you like my music, please share it. If you want to collaborate, my BandLab handle is @bingo_pajama. Feel free to contact me at cornbreadband@hotmail.com, as well, even if you aren't on BandLab.
  If your music is primarily AI, please don't come around my page, as I'm not at all interested in complimenting a machine.
  Here's a link to music I've recorded live with a group of musicians here in Pittsburgh called The Northumberland Street Ramblers.

L'Icare originel version contemporaine de la fin qui s'approche à pas de géants au dessus des foules fourmilières.

Ne sera jamais à la hauteur des sons qui s'entendent ici comme ailleurs. Fait seulement et de justesse sa petite musique dans un coin, l'antre solitaire loin de tout ce qui s'entend de loin, avec les minuscules moyens ridicules du bord.

De l'ancien revisité, du nouveau qui balbutie, beaucoup de temps passé à (re)produire autrement du peu qui passe inaperçu. Tant pis, n'est pas Mozart tout quidam qui respire.

On espère juste des oreilles et des sons en accointances, en proche syntonie, se lover à distance, se bercer d'un même univers ou proche, se donner la douce illusion de ne plus être seul au monde avec notre sensibilité qui se veut personnelle et l'art qui sauve du pire, si modeste soit-il... 

Bienvenue si tu te reconnais.

Tentative de réactualisation (arrangements, mixs, versions) de mes anciennes (compos, impros, reprises) via Tuxguitar remixé sur Audacity ou enregistrements guitare seule (1, 2, 3 pistes)si possibilité ou temps disponible.

Emmuré dans la réclusion ermite d'une allergie croissante de l'humanité irrespirable... liberté si chère tombée dans l'oubli... caillou futile (au bord du chemin et pour peu dans le ravin). L'art comme bouée.

Explication (pour les rares qui me retrouveraient au terme d'un long périple de silences entrecoupés de musique et vis versa) :

Emporté par les nombreux passages à vides qui se disputent mon trône comme un trophée, tantôt gouffres, tantôt paniques et urgences, tantôt bras baissés, explosions atomiques, dérives désolantes... et autres joyeusetés du même acabit, depuis ma présence aléatoire sur le précieux réseau (2012) de l'anonymat nombreux et des partages pas évidents avec les moyens du bord, via X comptes abandonnés ne sachant quasi que se copier-coller les uns les autres :

Je tente ici, comme un adieu au monde, une synthèse ou réactualisation de bafouilles musicales, selon le temps libéré, les galères imposées par le quotidien qui se veut de moins en moins aisé ou commode ou disposé... muraille gorgée d'urgences à traverser, dans quoi il faudra creuser des ouvertures infimes pour respirer... donc musique, vaille que vaille !

Poussière de graviers dans l'univers immense des montagnes. Etroit sentier broussailleux dans l'infini splendide. Et tant de talents inouïs à découvrir tout autour ! Peu en appétit de glorieux, plutôt l'intime, l'infime, le profond ou l'inédit sans feux d'artifices et le passant inaperçu qui a du soi à faire sentir et fait vibrer quelque chose en moi : nos cordes sensibles, un diapason à portée.

Keellian

''Petit'' Post-Scriptum technique :

Ma technologie en cours ne permettant pas de poster de l'audio HQ, je ferai le possible avec ce que je sais faire, le peu qu'on peut. Musicien pas technicien.

Merci pour l'écoute, likée ou zapée, vite oubliée dans ce qui nous divise ou imprimée dans ce qui nous rapproche, votre passage rare ou fréquent, nos échanges fructueux ou infertiles. La bienveillance sincère, l'oreille à l'écoute qui fait avancer la musique en soi dans la jungle où se noyer est plus aisé que se démarquer et ne se démarque pas toujours le plus beau, parfois le plus maitrisé, original, encouragé. Cet autre admirable assurément admiré.

Ma fenêtre cherche l'air qui se respire du dedans parce que dehors l'asphyxie partout encercle l'espace clos.

Bavard ici car plus rien à dire en musique. Mes notes parlent sans mots. Des discours entiers a entendre à l'intérieur. Ecoutez... si le coeur vous en dit.

No beats here, no high symphonie, no perfect track, nothing to sell, nothing to buy. Listen & play enjoy !

Thanks a lot
Merci
