WHAT'S NEW in 2021 ?
I teach beginner and intermediate guitar and bass, basic synthesis, and perform electronic and modular music livestreams.
I also do a couple weekly web-based shows.
A few of them on:
I'm honored to be a part of the team at MWM, the incredible multi-platform entity dedicated to discussing, promoting, reviewing and discovering MUSIC that is outside the prescribed guardrails.
Brand new music ...as well as musics from the past century of recordings as well as all the way back to antiquity ! Weird music goes way back, before the humans to the birds and the earth!
What we cover is not exclusively "odd" or "strange" music per se, whatever that means....but any music that challenges and intriques and inspires.
I am hosting interviews, talking about gear, as well as a number of upcoming features.
