MUSIC / Tracks Exploratory solo electric guitar. I am one of a handful of solo electric guitarists. It's a very small genre. Probably because it's technically challenging, and decidedly non-commercial. I'm interested in pushing solo electric rock and psych musicinto experimental abstract zones. Such as interoception landscapes and personal film music. I've played in pro bands (it's how I put myself through art school), an NYC area improv art band, and tiny odd shoegaze groups. ______________________________________________ Releases:  Escension A mixture of dense exploratory psych rock and ambient psych. Swirling forms that morph back into each other. Somewhat like slamming together psych and classical music. Solo electric guitar. Spontaneously composed. With no band to get in the way, the music emerged at the threshold of formation, and went wherever it wanted to go. The album is as minimal as psych rock gets. One guitar. One take. No loops. No overdubs. Some basic effects. And two mix edits where the meters went over.

Probably best described as a mixture of ambient beach rock, psych and improv. With a hint of inspiration from Twin Peaks. The result is maybe more like a film score. There's a lot of dissonance. I have no idea why it sounds so normal. One spontaneously composed guitar. I just let it rip. One take per track. No overdubs. No edits. And a basic signal chain.

But so far, there's a lot of resistance that is dominating my time. I'll do what I can. ______________________________________________ ______________________________________________ The Acoustic Blues Lab Project Studio (ABL): Experimental solo blues guitar recordings. Mainly fingerstyle acoustic. It started out as intuitive studies of very early blues (what I called pre-blues). But instead, it became a mashup that included rock, jazz theory and classical. Including long form. It's probably only of interest to fanatical blues obsessionists. It was never about popular blues, that's for sure. After ever higher rent increases ended the lab, I went back to the Strats. But regarding ABL, I have often asked myself, DID I GO TOO FAR? Well, H*ll yeah. That's what the lab was for. To listen to some of the surviving tracks, here's the ABL Bandcamp link: LISTEN: Acoustic Blues Lab (Bandcamp) ______________________________________________ ______________________________________________
