I like most genres accept for a few that rub me the wrong way. I tick to instrumental, vocal, organic and cosmic electronic music especially if there is an element of stink which I define as atonal, dissonant, compelling embellishments and beautiful mistakes. You know lots of accidentals instead of predicatable major chord comps.

My primary instrument is trumpet with far out effects and various mutes. Some other instruments I play are various synths such as the Moog, Arp, Yamaha CS-80v and Fender Rhodes. Now days I play these instruments in software and compose music in MIDI with Logic Pro Studio. I have been in 2 bands in my lifetime, Mang and Sumsing, since 1995.

What I play doesn't necessarily reflect all I listen to. I try everyday to keep an open mind and ear to new sounds, cultures and styles. Music truly does transcend the flesh and is the primary art form that convinced me that humans do have souls.

I definitely am not drawn to commercial sounding music and really could give a shit about showmanship and image. I want goose bumps when I listen to you.
