"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.

I was interested in music in my early youth... so I soon got my first synthesizer and set up a small home recording studio.
over the years i played keyboards in 5 bands...the direction was rock...pop...blues and soul.
in the meantime i have discovered my enthusiasm for creating my own songs.
it makes me happy when I can compose...arrange...mix...produce and create something new.
it's like a passion to experiment with different styles of music... and it gives me a lot of joy.
the only limit is your imagination...
is my motto.
and everything is possible...you just have to try.

music is pure magic...and part of the soul...
no one can escape her
let the music guide your mind...and that's the only way you'll get the freedom...you've always wanted

I enjoy interacting with seriously minded musicians.  Soundcloud is a wonderful platform for meeting great and interesting musicians.  I  play piano, synth, guitar, bass, bodhran and I sing from time to time.  I studied jazz piano and composing  Contemporary Classical Music and I write for many genres. 

Unfortunately I now feel it necessary to state that I do not use AI for composing music and I object to Ai training of music.  Sampling without written permission from me of any of the material posted by this account is strictly prohibited.


Some of my Favorite Artists:  J. H. Bach, Beethoven, Debussy, Miles Davis, Thelonius Monk, Chick Corea, Surgeon, Mingus, Carlos Santana, Julie London, Mark Verbos, Julia Bondhar, Elpiverse, Sarah Landry.

little willow

I define myself as an artist, in the broad sense. I love exploring and experimenting, whether it's visual arts, sculpture, crafts, music or writing. Sometimes I dream, sometimes I have fun, but sometimes, on the contrary, I am angry with what surrounds me, and art allows me to express all these feelings. I was born in France but above all I feel like a simple inhabitant of this planet.
I welcome you here and to my website.

بید کوچک

من خودم را به عنوان یک هنرمند، به معنای وسیع، تعریف می کنم. من عاشق کاوش و آزمایش هستم، چه هنرهای تجسمی، مجسمه سازی، صنایع دستی، موسیقی یا نوشتن. گاهی اوقات خواب می بینم، گاهی اوقات خوش می گذرانم، اما گاهی اوقات برعکس، از آنچه اطرافم را احاطه کرده است عصبانی می شوم و هنر به من اجازه می دهد همه این احساسات را بیان کنم. من در فرانسه به دنیا آمدم اما بیش از همه احساس می کنم ساکن ساده این سیاره هستم.
من به شما در اینجا و به وب سایت من خوش آمد می گویم.

سایت من: 

小さな柳

 私は自分自身を広い意味でのアーティストと定義しています。私は視覚芸術、彫刻、工芸品、音楽、執筆など、探究したり実験したりすることが大好きです。時には夢を見たり、時には楽しんだりしますが、時には逆に、自分を取り巻くものに対して怒りを感じることもあります。アートはこれらすべての感情を表現することを可能にします。私はフランスで生まれましたが、何よりもこの惑星の単純な住人であると感じています。
ここと私のウェブサイトへようこそ。

sauce pequeño

Me defino como artista, en el sentido amplio. Me encanta explorar y experimentar, ya sea en artes visuales, escultura, artesanía, música o escritura. A veces sueño, a veces me divierto, pero a veces, por el contrario, me enojo con lo que me rodea, y el arte me permite expresar todos estos sentimientos. Nací en Francia pero sobre todo me siento un simple habitante de nuestra planeta.
Te doy la bienvenida aquí y a mi sitio web.

Маленькая ива

Я определяю себя как художника в широком смысле. Я люблю исследовать и экспериментировать, будь то изобразительное искусство, скульптура, ремесла, музыка или писательство. Иногда я мечтаю, иногда развлекаюсь, а иногда, наоборот, злюсь на то, что меня окружает, и искусство позволяет мне выразить все эти чувства. Я родился во Франции, но прежде всего чувствую себя простым жителем этой планеты.
Приветствую вас здесь и на моем сайте.

الصفصاف الصغير

أنا أعرّف نفسي كفنان بالمعنى الواسع. أحب الاستكشاف والتجربة، سواء في الفنون البصرية أو النحت أو الحرف اليدوية أو الموسيقى أو الكتابة. أحيانًا أحلم، وأحيانًا أستمتع، لكن أحيانًا، على العكس من ذلك، أغضب مما يحيط بي، والفن يسمح لي بالتعبير عن كل هذه المشاعر. لقد ولدت في فرنسا ولكن قبل كل شيء أشعر وكأنني ساكن بسيط على هذا الكوكب.
أرحب بكم هنا وفي موقع الويب الخاص بي.

Kleine Weide

Ich definiere mich als Künstler im weitesten Sinne. Ich liebe es zu erforschen und zu experimentieren, sei es in der bildenden Kunst, Bildhauerei, Kunsthandwerk, Musik oder Schreiben. Manchmal träume ich, manchmal habe ich Spaß, aber manchmal werde ich im Gegenteil wütend auf das, was mich umgibt, und die Kunst ermöglicht es mir, all diese Gefühle auszudrücken. Ich bin in Frankreich geboren, aber vor allem fühle ich mich wie ein einfacher Bewohner dieses Planeten.
Ich begrüße Sie hier und auf meiner Website.

I'm almost back...

After the death of a loved one, I found myself unable to play music... so I opened a small attic room deep in my unbalanced mind and played other types of instruments... it had to happen...

So here's a track, "ATTIC ROOM" (37 minutes), composed and produced, bringing together 10 very different and surprising tracks... I feel like I was in another dimension for a while, and I hope you enjoy it.
Have a great listen. Thank you.
Pier WILL


Me voici presque de retour...
Après le décès de l'un de mes proches, je me suis retrouvé dans l'incapacité de jouer de la musique... alors j'ai ouvert une petite chambre mansardée tout au fond de mon esprit en déséquilibre et j'ai joué sur d'autres types d'instruments... il fallait que cela se réalise...

Voici donc un titre "ATTIC ROOM" (37minutes) composé et réalisé rassemblant 10 titres tellement différents et surprenants... je pense avoir été dans une autre dimension pendant un certain temps et j'espère que vous allez apprécier.
Très bonne écoute à vous. Merci
Pier WILL
