"What If The Paintings Had Songs" is a solo project intending to put the visual
to the sonic. Its creating sounds, generating energy of paint and pen, colors, tones, sitars, drums and clouds. Crocodiles in the water watching the sunrise. Its a vision I have and it's just starting. It's not a "band" but just the energy, the high vibration: Dancing in gravity, summersaulting into the unknown trying to make a few little pieces of the unreal real. I am
like a comit that can see its tail. An oroborus of light reaching into stardust for clay.

In my country, we view light as concrete. The foundation upon which to stand and embrace darkness. But then again we could be wrong. The small green paste beckons.
As a fellow multi-instrumentalist, I'm excited to announce my new CD "One Feather Shy" is available. It is best described as "genre-indifferent instrumental guitar music". I play acoustic, electric, baritone electric, fretless electric, lap steel, baritone lap steel, touch, and synthesizer guitars on this release.
Hey, thanks for the poem and thx for the help with my stick. Anytime you wanna jam let me know, I live in redwood city. I play many instruments but love flamenco guitar the most.
