Hi. I am the guitarist and composer for my band, intodown and Hero Between Two Worlds.  It is with the help of very talented musicians that I am able to record, produce and present live, the music of intodown and HBTW.  I am very fortunate.

The latest record is Brave New World.  Thanks to the 170+ college radio stations that played, and continue to play, Brave New World.  And, a Very special thanks to all the reviewers who took the time to listen to the record and write intelligently about the music.  Thank you for your time!  Reviews can be read on Facebook and the intodown website.

Influences.  Well, most influential would be the 13th Floor Elevators who I had the pleasure of sharing the stage.  Blues, psychedelic, surf, progressive, ambient, stoner, be-bop, classical guitar and some classic rock are influences.  Cream, Jimi, Gilmour, Dick Dale, Hollywood Fats, Miles and Theolonious are important influences.  Monet, Degas, Hopper are also influences.

What you hear on Soundcloud  are finished songs going to EP (Aliens, Mystere, etc.) and idea jams (Vortex Jams).  These improvisations are compositional tools.  It's usually 30+ minutes of raw emotion, in the moment expression of sonic energy and the transcending of cultural constraints.  

Dig it.  Ask your friends to join us.  And live life up loud.  Start here.
