New, very well put together video courtesy of the fine folks at Mother Brother Studios (part of their Salon Sessions video series). I perform my solo guitar composition “Flash Cards” sandwiched between two more ambient improvisations.

…and I am proud to say my album with the great drummer Grant Calvin Weston is now available on CD @ http://www.577records.com and mp3 via various digital retailers (iTunes, Amazon, et cetera). In an early review of the album, the NYC Jazz Record says, of my guitar playing:
“…steel guitar-like licks move with the simplicity of updated Santana and McLaughlin…he applies [his effects collection] with an artist’s, not a house-painter’s strokes.”

Full-length album “Flying Kites” coming out in December, courtesy of 577 Records! We will be celebrating this release by performing at the 577 Forward Festival in Brooklyn NY on December 13th. For more information on the festival and to purchase tickets, please visit: http://www.577records.com

We will also be performing at Quinn’s in Beacon NY on December 17th

About this release:
“A collection of live sounds recorded while on tour. As usual, attempting to create sonic environments in which to lay one’s head. Part of a continual effort to connect modernity to nature and the infinite.”

In the spirit of continuing to release a ridiculous amount of music this year with little to no regard for promotional aspects, here is a compilation of live improvisations recorded by some good samaritans while I was on tour in Maryland & DC. It is super cheap to download and I made one track free (in case you don’t think I deserve any money but still want sounds on your device). It is also available on cassette for $5 plus shipping! I am unsure how many copies I will be making, so grab em while you can. Also, “textures+surfaces” is now available on cassette!

Another free download! Two long-form improvised arrangements for composed environments, tied together with a shorter interlude. Strong emphasis on prepared guitar and feedback.

FREE DOWNLOAD!! I will also have a few 7″ lathe cut picture discs of the track “Foggy on a Smilin’ Day” for sale during my July 2015 tour
