i've been stumbling around detroit looking for some like-minded musicians for a while now, and it's kind of not working, so i'm going to try something else.

this is a video of me performing some guitar tracks in ottawa in 2012 at an occupy ottawa fundraiser to shut down the tar sands [think of it like an anti-keystone thing from the canadian side]. it's a little sloppy, but the bizarre syncopation is entirely intentional and actually kind of the point. this is not screwing around, it's a composition. easily deconstructible influences here include jimi hendrix, frank zappa, kurt cobain, billy corgan, efrim menuck, adam jones, jimmy page, norman westberg, renaldo/moore, steve hackett, john mclaughlin, al di meola, colin marston, jack white, omar rodriguez, carlos santana, kevin shields, mike keneally, tim smith & greg hetson....as well as debussy, rachmaninov, steve reich and philip glass. and leo brouwer.

i would like to find a drummer that is brave enough to take this on. please help if possible.
