"This talented performer will amaze you with the unique sounds of the Chapman Stick."
Often a few beats off the path, my compositions are an amalgamation of all I find desirable in music.
Taking standard theory that might be applied to any classic, infusing jazz, and wrapping the result around funk rhythms, I end up with a flux of fusion as my moniker.
I believe in a depth that is not an invitation of complexity, but rather a metaphysical interpretation achievable to any listener. Through a spread of tones and rhythms, a melody is kindled. As you listen, you will find what you expect even if you're surprised by what you find.
Creating a scene here on the wire is a small pocket of my works.
