Guitarist interested in sound design and fringe music genres.
I listen to a lot of post-rock, IDM, trip hop, prog rock. Anything with a strong groove and dense atmospheric layers.
My playing style is versatile - looping, reverb/delay atmosphere, fuzzy shoegaze noise, ebow swells, phasing arpeggios ala King Crimson/Steve Reich, minimalist accompaniments.
Looking to work on original material with a band and/or an electronic producer. I want to build on (not imitate) the great music I've been influenced by.
Totally willing to change my style or play outside my comfort zone for the sake of some good art :)
