   About Strum
What up everybody! I'm out here in Brooklyn playing my guitar. I've been playing the guitar for as long as I can remember. Now I'm producing albums and performing with my original band, Wu Li. With the name deriving from the quantum physics book "The Dancing Wu Li Masters" by Gary Zukav, Wu Li is Chinese for Patterns of Organic Energy. Wu Li is fusion music in that we are all influenced by a variety of styles: Rock, Jazz, Funk, Dub, Latin and Trip-Hop to name a few. In our live show we strive toward the peak experience of music as an extension of our beings. Is there order to the universe and human existence, or are the controlling forces random and chaotic? Ask yourself this question when listening to, or better yet when you are playing and creating music. Improvisation and experimentation provide a great opportunity to discover answers to the questions of quantum physics. I've always felt that playing live music is a metaphor for how all types of energy interact. This band philosophy has led to magical musical moments and miracle feelings of oneness, as well as the darker side of chaos and dissonance. Taking chances has gotten us closer to the realization that the answers may or may not be out there; it's the constant searching that is interesting for us and our listeners. Bottom line: philosophy can be head-spinning...we're just mad scientists fooling around in the lab. ***Don't forget to click on my band members who are top friends, and Shobee for the "official" Wu Li home videos. More music and good shiz there*** The video below is an extended version of "The Happy Barn" recorded at the Tea Lounge in Brooklyn. We broke into some new territory as the jam developed, thanks to Rich Stein and Matt Kilmer for the hand-sonic and acoustic percussion work.
