I’m a guitarist and composer, work in technology, think in streams.

Just a software developer ... therefore a control freak! Love music and make music controlling every aspect. The challenge today is to get rid of the "fake instrument" word and embrace the new era of software instruments. 90% of my tracks are software generated! Looking for new way to experiment in composing and recording.

Most of my work is instrumental and inspired to other media, one of the most inspiring thing for me is the Silent Hill saga and soundtrack.

Looking forward for collaboration with other artists to grow my knowledge and music sensibility. Music is alchemy.

I hit things with sticks... currently with Stella Erratic, formerly with The Winter Project

POKE AROUND! UPDATE 1/17/2022: THIS IS JUST A SKETCHBOOK. There's VARIETY here! From garage-jazz to psychedelic-punk to cow-funk to proto-fusion-gaze, and anything else I can make up on the fly! YES, THIS STUFF IS BASICALLY SLOPPY, unfinished versions of ideas; maybe some waiting for lyrics, maybe not, some have rough lyrics....essentially exercises in home recording and live improv, but I prefer a lil' sloppy over polished metal: NO pop-punk or bro-rock here either. It's DEFINITELY not-ready/meant-for-primetime.....Listen to this page for rotating material to get an idea of what I can sound like....some is jazzy/proggy fusiony stuff,....psych?, weird, maybe....,some is simple,....I'll get as experimental as you want, but I'm inclined to hit "go" on the drum machine when recording alone.....this is not ALL that I want to do with music! Help me do more! And BELIEVE ME, I don't WANT to use a drum machine! (a LOT of this stuff is programmed/sampled/midi drums, if you can't tell, other contributors are mentioned in "comments")......I spend time on creating new material, but I'm happy to indulge a perfectionist streak with someone and record with my computer or better technical tool$. I credit the other players on here, but most all of it's just me. That can change.
I work days, and can commit to one or multiple projects on my nights and weekends- please be motivated to create, record AND perform!

Hailing from New York City, Stimpy Lockjaw is one of the most divergent and colorful jazz/rock groups around. All four members have brought very distinct skills and experiences to the music. Stimpy Lockjaw formed in 2009 when Kevin, Nick, and Zach met in college, but due to the success of Ever Forthright's debut album they weren't able to give full commitment to the project until now. Nearly 6 years later, they have teamed up with bassist Steve Jenkins and special guests, Cara Minichiello and Colin Gordon, to create some of the most progressive music around. 
All of the music was written by the three original members, but the record really came into completion when the sound of Steve Jenkins was added to the mix during the recording process. Combining technical riffs, dense harmony, intricate rhythms, heavy grooves, and long, developing improvisations, the sound of Stimpy Lockjaw will surely be one of the freshest and unique experiences fans of traditional and modern progressive music have come across. Their debut album contains 5 totally original, genre bending tunes that are equal parts intriguing and captivating.
