Sounds Like
A musical diary of a sarcastic madman. I will say my influences are not as easy to pin down from the tracks you hear, but I am getting to the point where things sound stylistically like "me". That is a good thing, I think... Not really too comparable to other things, due to the radical transitions, that really only Mr. Bungle remind me of... That sort of thing anyway. I love Zappa, Mattias Eklundh, Buckethead and all those weird guys for the more distorted, odd time sort of thing (Mahavishnu, too..) and Tuck Andress, Charlie Hunter, Martin Taylor, Joe Pass, Bireli Lagrene and that whole mob for my solo guitar stuff... I guess you could say it's pretty ecclectic, so it's pointless to try to pigeonhole. You tell ME what YOU think it sounds like.
Parkinson fan PAUL rejoicing upon receipt of his Parkinson CD!!! Join him in auditory bliss:
Professor Parkinson and the Shakey Shakes started off as a jokey sort of name for me, when I first produced and played with the Miami based Mock & Roll Band, The BJ Experience...
It began to evolve from there, until finally I decided to release something in the guise of Professor Parkinson... That release was "Hail, Seizure!!!"...
After receiving favorable reviews from fans, friends, magazines and other forms of media alike, I sort of felt more at ease with my strange brand of "Bungle meets Dream Theater meets Secret Chiefs meets Sikth meets Pat Metheny" style....
So, after much debate, I decided to make the Parkinson concept a trilogy....
Hail Seizure!!! was the attention getter.... Heavy, disharmonic, weird, jarring and warping to the ear and mind.... A bit abrasive for most to handle...
The next effort I am working on (which you can hear samples of on here already) is "Seizure Salad!!!", something that would be akin to dinner music in the same realm that the first CD's music would be acceptable in.... I am certainly showing off more of my jazz/funk/world/non heavy influences while still maintaining the spirit of Zappa, and some jazz and funk luminaries, to many to mention..... I hope it comes off... I have also decided onthis cd to expand the orchestration from mostly guitar/bass/drums/synth to include many more textures... tuba, sax, trumpet, cello, violin, erhu, cumbus, congas and other percussion, more organic keys (piano, rhodes, hammond, etc.)
Should be interesting....
The third part of the trilogy shall be revealed in time.... But I think that as jarring as it was for people who first heard my music, or the first time they heard the new material versus the initial cd's music... the third will jar them all the more...
One can only hope.

Professor Parkinson - NEW SONGS!!! has 11589 friends.
Thank you very much! Really appreciate it. Guess I just don't put that much effort into finding friends, but hey, one brick at a time and eventually a wall emerges.. or something
aw thanks! i'm really trying to get more new things incorporated into the sound, and change it up, but yet i still want to keep it dark and aggressive for my second album. with the occasional quiet piece, the break, of course. i swear, the more i learn, and the more confident i become with my sound, the more complicated the writing process gets! but then i tend to do things the hard way lol... thank you for commenting the madness though, it's much appreciated! i can't take 100% full credit for the first song, it's a remix, and all but i think 2 or 3 of the sounds are all samples from the original version, and i used 2 synths and i think my own snare sample. TONS AND TONS of effects. i love being all experimental and stuff, pushing the limits, figuring out what sounds good together... you know ALL about that though i'm sure, i don't think it gets more broad-spectrum than your sound! anyways thanks again and much love!!!
