I am a maverick guitar player who is all over the map musically. I do a lot of free improvised music and try to get some new sounds on my instrument. I also write and perform scores for silent movies, and I curate a new music series at the OSU Urban Arts Space. Lately, I've been digging playing songs again and playing lots of different styles of music with lots of different people.
