I am wholly or partly responsible for: Strange land's myspace, facebook and home web pages, my own home web site, the CD Baby content and the SL/Sean lastfm pages. I think I am spread to thin and I'm going to devote more of my online work to my homepage and the facebook sites. Facebook keep everything neatly under one umbrella. Both Facebook and my freewebs site have been more productive for me and frankly, I am tired of the clutter and slowness of myspace.
I will still stop here from time to time but myspace won't be a good way to contact me. If you do need to contact me go to www.freewebs.com/guitarsean, email me at guitarsean@gmail.com, or call me at 414-750-4381. Or go look me up on Facebook.
I have a new HOME page with a LOT more stuff. I won't be doing anything here except updating my shows and new music. Please stop by to witness more of my musical A.D.D.
Down the page you'll find a standard issue bio blurb about me (if you care). Aside from the tunes on this page you can go to CD Baby. I have 3 cds for sale there with samples. I work as a music engraver for one of the pulishers not owned by Hal Loenard. I play guitar and bass, and I sing. I'm also a private lesson teacher and was a therapist with autistic children. I play guitar, play video games, and cook. Did I mention I play guitar?
I have a BA in music performance (Jazz/Classical) from UWM and the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music. I play all styles of music and I'm always looking to work with other musicians. I play solo acoustic guitar music (both instrumental and vocal) and play in the prog-metal band Strange Land. I'm always working on new songs and as you can tell I'm stylistically all over the place. My instrumental rock cd (unleashing my inner Joe Satriani) is done, go to my freewebs page to download it for free. I am anxiously awaiting the release of the new Strange Land cd.
Bio Blurb:
Sean Gill has already covered a lot of ground in his musical career. Starting guitar at age 13 and after passing through his high school music program he went on to study music in college and recieved a BA in performance. This route took him through the lands of Jazz and Classical music.
Shortly after graduating Sean began to find an interest in traditional folk/singer-songwriter music and in instrumental acoustic music like that made by Michael Hedges and Preston Reed. He found an instant love for this type of music and found it a satisfying creative outlet. "The solo instrumental music I play encompases so many things in one place: the aggression and energy of heavy metal, the hamonic, rhythmic and melodic complexities of jazz and classical, and the gentle wash of new age music," explains Sean. Book of Ashes is his first solo cd. He released his second cd "driving empty miles" in 2001 and October Dust in 2004.
In that time Sean never let go of his first love, heavy metal. He currently records and performs with the Progressive Metal act Strange Land.
Just wanted to stop by and say thanks for joining us on our show last night. It was a great experience and I was so happy to be able to share your music with our listeners.
Hey, we just stopped by to let you know that our new cd is out, however only a few people will receive a copy, we've only printed 100 copies and we're only going to print 100 copies. However you can download all the songs on our page, from our last cd, This Just In...
I saw that your mood said "irritated." I hope everything is okay, and that it's not work that's getting you down. :-) Hey, the good news it that there's a birthday lunch this week. Yay!
