This is a recently recorded track that features my lead playing. My guitar straight into my amp, without any effects or studio tricks, just 100% guitar techniques.

THe NiTWiTS

lyrics 

"Gawdammm and I know that you, just put the blame on, me cause you ain't been the same ever since we closed it out yeah I know bout that cause I can see it on you.

So let it go now with that empty cup
Heavy rain falls right inside your luck
Let it all change for that day to come 
Keep me in your mind but just block that lust 
yeah.

LiViNG iN THe FuTuRe

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗺𝘆 𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗲𝘀!
My main influences include: Jeff Beck, Paco De Lucia, Bikini Kill, EDM, Mahavishnu, Yes, Zeppelin, Dregs, Police, Al Di Meola, Slade, Chris Warren (Lady Sabre), UFO, Ted Vasil (SC), UK, Brian Eno, Terry Riley, David Bowie and Max Martin (Back Street Boys...).

All my songs embrace Fibonacci patterns and Wu Wei.  Those are just natural ways to make groovy-fun songs.  :-)

"Don't think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it's good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art." -Andy Warhol

In 2024 I started to more fully embrace AI instead of resisting its inevitability. Any songs where AI played a significant role are marked with an asterisk (*).
