for the recordings here....guitar, sax, drums, my voice, and cello bow.
i play guitar and sing for plutonium farmers with aaron dugan and matt armistead.
i play guitar with doug ferguson and lisa cameron in our groups necessity, reverse osmosis, the tetrahedons, and biloxi turpentine.
i play guitar and other things (not electronic) through the guitar with book of shadows.
i also love any chance to play with john donovan, carl smith, ralph white, shawn david mac and hold the cheese, nick hennnnies, chris cogburn, night viking *yay), lori varga, and need help making a flute out of a street construction signholder.
also been in exciting playing contexts with tetuzi akiyama, bhob rainey, greg kelley, rob cambre, kurt newman, thollem mcdonas, tom carter, sandy ewen, glenn branca's band, and got a guitar lesson from Dexter X man from Planet Q, Nokie Edwards, and asked Dave Brubeck if I had to learn to read. He brought up his friend Chet Baker. Yikes.
Influences
i want my guitar to sound like the ventures' '64 mosrite sound or like an overblown sax, percussion, or a windowharp. still can't do the birds outside just intonality, but i've had the garbage truck down since middle school.

still in montgomery. leaving for denver on monday. ive figured out pretty much all of night in tunisia. can play it pretty well. i learned the minor and major bebop scales. turns out ive been playing bebop for a long time. did you know gilespie taught miles davis how to bop? too bad miles is a bad student. and armstrong taught gilespie how to scat. oh, and slim aint really from cuba, he was born way south florida and grew up in nebraska or something. so wierd. and his father was actually a german imigrant and his mother was a black cuban. you know the minor bebop scale? you can play it one octave in pretty much two strings of horizontal movement. 1,2,b3,3,4,5,6,b7 changed my life!!!
Hi [name]. I'm Marco from Italy and i'd like to introduce my electronic/ambient project to you: "Banshee Nova". I released my debut LP today and i'd be really happy if you would download it (absolutely for free, of course). It's some kind of a instrumental voyage through 2100 a.d Africa. Click here to reach download page or here to visit myspace page. As always, any comment, insult, praise, mail or salute is really appreciated.
For your entertainment and consideration,
