I think that the fact that I performed the lead guitar track on an Ibanez PM1000 says a lot about Pat Metheny's influence shining through in this piece.   Magnus Brandell performed some tracks that Paul Wertico himself would admire.  For some reason, I really vibed with these drum performances, so thanks to Magnus and Per for making these jewels of creative inspiration available.

I performed acoustic and electric guitars, bass, guitar synth, and keyboard tracks.   Magnus Brandell performed the drums.   Bob's your uncle.  Why did I just say that?  I don't have any idea whether or not you have an uncle Bob.

Psychtelos derives from Greek, and from what I understand roughly translates into "The Soul's Purpose."   For some reason, over and over again, I keep finding it in me to produce unexpected music like this.  I began recording Psychtelos a couple of years ago when I interacted for the first time with fellow NARAS members.  I was inspired by the drum tracks and some work from new artists that I had just met, but wasn't able to finish it until a few weeks ago.  

Feel free to comment.  I enjoy it when real listeners stop by with intelligent things to say.

Kind Regards,

John Kline

Cedar Walton - Mode For Joe

A remote trading post on the Yukon-Alaska border, "Rampart House" is a place where history lingers in the silence. This ECM-style work captures the vast loneliness of boreal landscapes, the quiet beauty of the trading post’s endurance, and the stories frozen in time within its walls. Featuring a tenor saxophone soloist, “Rampart House” is energetic, yet haunting and contemplative—a meditation on northern solitude and history.

The Admiral's Misadventure

“Resonance Morpheus,” the title track for my latest album, is the most harmonically and rhythmically complex piece that I have ever been a part of.   Magnus Brandell’s drumming just speaks to me.  When I play along with his drum tracks, which I discovered through “Oddgrooves,” I feel inspiration.    His polyrhythmic performances are strangely intuitive for me.   They inspire creativity out of my usual zone of comfort.   I’ve love The Pat Metheny Group since the first time I heard them live back in the ‘80s.    This piece is a nod to Mr Metheny, who that day advised me to “learn theory, and then forget it.”  Lesson learned, sensei.  May I have another?
