How wonderfully malleable is music? I grew up and live in a country drowning in music of so many sounds. 

I dabble with all sorts of styles and genres but I like to think that it all still sounds like me. 

There's no grand mission for me on Soundcloud beyond finding music that I love and dialoging with other musicians. 

I'm always open to suggestions for collaboration and other adventures.

I don't repost here - not because I'm a miserable person but just because I use this page to sell my wares so to speak. That said I do listen to music on here religiously and I'm very proactive in sharing it around and building links with people that might like the sounds I find appealing. 

I'm working on ways of getting more people from outside Soundcloud plugged in to the wonderful art on display here. I do my bit!

I don't leave comments as link bait or for "karma". I'm very plain spoken so if I comment it's because I have something to say. I use my real name for that reason - my name and my word go together so if you get a compliment or critique its intended as though I gave it face to face.

If you like the music you can help me make more by buying some. Just visit here to help support me making this nonsense! - http://brunkard.com/where-to-buy-a-never-ending-album/

If you would like to use the music or commission me to write something new just get in touch with me through here or on my website. I offer free licenses for non-profit ventures with some small conditions and I also excellent rates for profitable ventures! 

Instruments:

Guitars, guitarviol and guitar like things. I use virtual instruments sparingly and keep the focus on real sounds so to speak.

Illustrator that sometimes makes music.

Get in touch if you'd like me to draw something for your next release.

So great we can reflect inner beauty with each other and find in the end we are all cut out of the same wood, it was only the shape which differed !
