Hey, Thanks for checking out my page.  December 2011, I was given, kind of randomly,  a ukulele, and it was easily the best gift I've ever received.  I've been writing songs (and poorly playing guitar and ukulele) ever since then...they get recorded on my ipod, often sitting in my car so I don't wake up my roommates...so there are no delusions of grandeur...its just the process of making them and getting to be creative that I like so much.  I'm currently looking for creative people in Portland, or even the various internets, to make music with.  Send me a message if you're interested.  Thanks for stopping by!  And you know, if you're in the market for a mobile recording studio, I think the acoustics in a '94 Accord aren't bad...I mean it's not Abbey Road but still...not bad.


What The Critics are Saying about Mr. Jones and His Visions of Pearl:

"Breath-taking." Oxygen magazine.

"It's like an imagined collaboration of what Kafka and Modigliani would have created had they been musicians in the 21st century. So refreshingly unpretentious." Pitchfork

"A ragged howl unleashed deep from America's secret soul reminding us that like Vader at the end of Jedi, there is still some good left in our collective heart." Chewbacca

"Seek not the favor of the multitude; it is seldom got by honest and lawful means. But seek the testimony of few; and number not voices, but weigh them."  Immanuel Kant after hearing Mr. Jones and His Visions of Pearl's SoundCloud.  

Musician originally from Toledo, OH, temporarily resided in Puntarenas, Costa Rica, now calls Portland, OR home.  Mr. TrashCans is currently dedicating a great deal of his time to spearheading operations at Sonic Debris Multimedia (recording, sound, and label collective) as a lead partner.  He is also working on mixing the upcoming double LP by Sister Mamie Foreskin (an experimental Portland, OR band rooted in Dada) in which he plays guitar, keys/synths, vocals, talkbox, and various effects.  1000 TrashCans is the ex-guitarist, singer, and songwriter for the Toledo, OH based experimental noise punk group Beurotic.

This is nothing  more than a
'Feeble Effort At Realization'.
Fear is unknown, the unknown is above us.
Love is heavy, it sinks us below.
When taking in all our current belief and knowledge base one can only cower 
in fear and awe at the sheer enormity 
of our existence and the infinite realms, 
more vast than this one, in which our perceived consciousness explores.  
Thus in comparative hindsight it 
would seem we are in fact all in the
'Least Of Virtually Everything'.

"It reminds me that I need to take out the papers and the trash, contact my local witch doctor, socially spread that the bird is indeed the word, 
 care for space-born goats, and invest in more Frank Zappa instead."
