The newest release from Bing Futch is a tribal mixture of Native American flute, mountain dulcimer, world drums, vocals and ethereal grooves that evoke mythic imagery and meditative trance.
BING FUTCH: Dulcimer Rock
Mountain dulcimer like you've never heard it before. This is a collection of tunes ranging from Indian ragas, Native American rhythms and world-beat arrangements to catchy roots and pop-rock dance tracks filled with luscious melodies and stacked harmonies.
BING FUTCH: Dulcimerica Volume 1
Bing’s first solo mountain dulcimer release features instrumental arrangements of traditional tunes along with some modern originals and American classics.
MOHAVE: Clear Blue Trickling
Bing's band Mohave serves up a uniquely alternative Americana blend of slave chants, Native American rhythms, blues, jazz, country, Celtic and roots-rock styles with pop hooks, timeless stories and electrified mountain dulcimer.
BING FUTCH: 70mm
Described as "an electronic theater-hopping experience", this instrumental album by Mohave founder Bing Futch is a freewheeling excursion through a sonic landscape of moods, memories and magic.

"DJ Monkey …soul-stirring, excitingly edgy music…just disturbing (read ‘mind-f**king’) enough to demand attention. There is a whole spice rack of auditory flavors here, served up like fractured poetry on a collection of intensely listenable Hallmark cards from Hell." Bill Margold, Cinema Seen, L.A. X..Press
