At the beginning of my musical trek, I had one very distinct ideal in mind: If I was to play guitar, I would play like myself. Abandoning any notion of influence, while allowing the inflection of other artists that articulated what I am musically, which is classical's dissonance and the tempered optimism of autumn. A collision of the divine and the dirty, etc.
Note: This may sound like pretentious-fluff, but people, I looked it up online and cross-referenced it with David Bowie. So there.
My self-inflicted promise means to play with different personalities and different instruments through the same medium. When played well and even not so well, I adore pianos and violins and bass. This infatuation bleeds through. For piano, I am reminded of "Science-Fiction." For bass, I instantly think of "Right of Way." "Grow Young" is violin.
Many of my songs epitomize this identity crisis of guitar, and I pray that none of them die in my hands. Like that will ever happen :/
There is only one volume for the music in you,
