Imagine smooth, subtle, seamless transitions from jazz influenced chord structures to riff rock set to a familiar contemporary rock feel with catchy sing song, powerpop, vocal hooks and melodies. Guitar: this is heavily Jazz influenced, with melodic and shred metal tidbits here and there when called for. To get me out of Jazz mode I have to use alternate tunings. "CrowfeatheR" on the guitar is a nuclear-jazz guitarist with a sonic chameleon and multiple personality disorder complex. Every section of every song must have its own sonic principal and style that suits the feel of the music. My favorite guitar sound is from a HALO guitar and an EMG pickup. My primary instrument in the past has been the electric Bass. My greatest influences growing up were John Taylor (Duran Duran), James Jamerson, Bootzilla (that's Bootsy Collins to you), Muzz Skillins (living Color), Doug Pinnick (Kings-X, Pound hound), Chris Squire (YES) and of course Geddy Lee (Rush). Although I have the technical ability for endless masturbatory riffing and blazing runs faster than any guitar player could ever do using a pick, using my "cross finger picking" technique, I chose not to include too much of that in my popular music. I have put most of that behind me and I am trying to loose my musical ego. I am more worried about how things sound other than playing stuff no one else can. My favorite Bass tone is my custom made Bass through a bright, tube preamp with new sparkling Curt Mangan light stainless strings, mmmm, warm, punchy and crunchy. My percussion tracks are a Combination of live drums and percussion and digitally sampled or electronic, drum programming. My favorite drummers are too many to list , but include Morgan Rose (Seven Dust), Danny Carey (TOOL), Sam Mcandless (COLD), Jerry Gaskill (Kings-X) and the creator of the modern drumming style, Neil Peart (Rush). I prefer the sound of Mahogany drum shells, ported bass drum heads, a hard beater and a beater patch.
Myspace statistics show CrowfeatheR fans are mostly (60%+) females age 18-24.
CrowfeatheR is not one of those artists who you see live or hear on the radio and do not remember thier songs. CrowfeatheR will touch you heavily on an emotional level. CrowfeatheR is not music you hear, it is music you feel. CrowfeatheR is not a formula created band, the emotion is genuine.
CrowfeatheR says; "I find melody in the chords I use. From there a vocal melody; be it the same or a counter melody appears to me. The melody speaks to me, the words become obvious." CrowfeatheR
CrowfeatheR began his musical journey to become one of the fastest electric bass players in the world at age 16. Addicted to the rush of technical profundity, songs were written in 19/16 and 5/8 time signatures, songs that lasted for 10 minutes of polyrythmic impossibility and songs that simply had "too many notes" for most musicians to handle. Discouraged by the lack of passion and dedication of his fellow musicians CrowfeatheR moved on alone to exile. CrowfeatheR's triumphant return from exile comes in the form of a new sound fortified with mass appeal, combined with technical credibility and an endless amount of street cred. CrowfeatheR possesses a true 5 octave voice and is regarded as one of the world's most devastating guitar players and technically proficient bass players. --
