Composer and performer, long working out of Seattle but recently resettled in Houston. The music is classical at the center, but draws from any style, place and time. You are what you eat...
But the point of my page here
is the friend list below.
You want to find out about me & my music? Click on this link to NIWO, my real web home... But this page is a little different from the standard Myspace page; it's not really about me, and I purposely avoid regular "friends" (no matter how much I like you, guys), as well as "big names" who you find on any radio or CD store. My focus is on people who otherwise might never show up on your radar screen, yet are not just O.K., but rather truly excellent. My other criterion is that they make me sit up and really listen; they go someplace "beyond"... Beyond what's average, easy, comfortable. I need that; if you do too, let me guide you to wonderful, interesting and creative musicians who make paths, not just follow them.
I personally listen to all of these, and each is added only because I like what I hear. Their "name" factor, style they work in, or amount of training or resources... Who gives a damn? They're all stars in my field, touching some seriously creative place in my ear; there's the spark of something we used to call ART, not just entertainment.
And don't forget to go past the "top friends"! There are more than 800 (!!) great discoveries on the list so far; get in there and click, lose yourself... Or maybe, find yourself...
Also, I help at another great new-music site started by my composer-friend Jeff Harrington: NETNEWMUSIC. Come visit, join, share your own sound and thoughts.
Places like this can be powerful tools for discovery and connection, so take advantage. The world is open like never before, but you've got to know where to look... and listen. That's where each of us comes in: don't just pass it back, pass it on!
