My name is Eric Gillingham and I am a guitar player and multi-instrumentalist (bass, hand drums and percussion, drums) in the prog/prog metal vein living in Los Angeles.  Currently seeking to join an established band or form my own with like minded musicians.  My influences are wide but a few choice ones: Steven Wilson/Porcupine Tree/Blackfield, Tool, ISIS (the band not the terrorist group, let's just get that out of the way lol), Mastodon, Opeth, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Rush, Yes, Faith No More, etc.  You get the idea...

The hodgepodge of tracks on my page here is just an example of things I've done and am doing at the moment,...some are more demo-ish, with drums that I've programmed and guitar only, some are full songs, mixed, etc, with a previous band I was in in London (progressive death metal, ala Death, Opeth, etc.) 

Thanks for stopping by and listening, and I hope to be jamming/playing with somebody soon!  

Cheers!
Eric Gillingham

Singer & Songwriter - Dark Indie Pop.

Sono cantante ed autrice indipendente e siciliana.
Compongo melodie romantiche, un pizzico sensuali, che nascondono bene le parole macchiate di sarcasmo e poesia. Il mio nome d’arte - ROCKESS - è testimone di femminilità e carattere. Ho cantato in molti bei posti, con bella gente e bella musica. Mi concentro oggi solo sulla mia Musica, in maniera più intima. Per questo mi sento coinvolta in un vortice di FEMALE INTIMATE ROCK.

General discussion about cults and science. Discussion with cult survivors about their upbringing and the power dynamic between themselves and the organization

Taking up the drums at age 8, within a decade ron [k] had also taught himself guitar, synthesizers, vocals, as well as how to produce and engineer his own recordings. ron had soon moved beyond the restrictions of any single genre, heading for the mélange of styles (including rock, metal, classical and electronica) that characterizes his sonic output today, which blends grinding guitar lines with chaotic yet calculated drumming, fat bass lines, ethereal synth work, and expressive male/female vocalizing.

The concept of mélange, of bringing in whatever works to craft the perfect sound, led ron to partner up with longtime friend and collaborator Jordan Shane. Jordan came on board in 2009 during the recording of Apathy. His song writing abilities showcase the lifelong passion and dedication heʼs had for music. Jordanʼs proficiency spans across many styles and genres. Starting at an early age, his classical training on piano and guitar were developed, today those talents can be heard on Stripped.

Leah Page is the femme fatale behind the vocals on Stripped as well as having appeared on the 2009 ron [k] releases Apathy as well as her debut on the seminal Grace single. Her background as a seasoned, classically trained vocalist makes her a force to be reckoned with. Her passion, desire and visions were an obvious fit with ron's overarching drive and skill set.

Jules Hodgson (K.M.F.D.M. / Spittin' Cobras / PIG) has also gravitated to the project as powerful resource. A musician, whose talent with guitar, synthesizers and engineering is disciplined and refined with a balanced blend of theory, creativity and perfectionism.

To ron and company the concept/label of "band" is nothing but a needless preconception; shackles that they will not let constrain them. Instead, ron [k] refers to this as an "Open Source Project", where multiple musicians are free to take part in any given song - at whatever capacities are called for in the moment - so as to maximally harness the creative spark, that magic of musical inspiration that cannot be planned for.

June of 2013 found their latest release, Stripped, being licensed for use in the IFC Midnight feature film Cam2Cam. Director Joel Soisson was such a fan of the band and their latest hit that he used both the studio and remix versions of the song in the film, along with featuring the remix in the official film trailer. Cam2Cam release date: August 22, 2014.
