InfluencesMusic genres: Metal, Classical and Oriental music. 1920s classical and jazz instrumental guitar.

My riffs are mostly inspired by instrumental celtic music. The tin whistle is what comes closer to what I do. I play entirely by ear so for now I'm still at understanding what I am capable of.

I need to keep the Beast entertained...

   About J. K. Roach

The Bio


Me name is J.K. Roach, servant of the Black Mistress. I spend most of me time at the gates of the Beast's Lair entertaining newcomers and daemons alike. Don't try to understand what I play just let it reach and move you. Truth be told I never took a class in me life but I intend to once the Beast agrees to let me go back to the land of mortals.

Rock On

Fall 2007 upcoming work


I am currently working on many different compositions including The Harem (which should be available soon) and others which lack a title for the time being. Also, a new version of Ultima Forsan is now up and I will update all the songs on this page very soon. Better versions of previous works with better sound and weirder riffs.

Part of my current work is to also learn music theory. I have much work to do in reading notation and I am using a program called Earmaster to help me.
