I've played in a number of projects over the years. My role often changes for each project: composer, singer, guitarist, bassist, piano and/or keyboardist, and so on. I keep busy. Here are some lo-fi CDs that I've recorded. They are all available on my CDBaby page, and some of them are also available on iTunes. Feel free to visit the individual band websites (all maintained by Botch) for more MP3's, information, online puzzles and other fun stuff.
My most ambitious undertaking ever, I culled together a septet of progressive musicians to perform my arrangements of monster movie music. The Project got a great response performing the selctions featured on this recording, including over 45 minutes of classic Godzilla music, a medley of 80's slasher movie themes, an excerpt from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, and selections from Land of the Lost.
This is the second Doctor Psyclops album, and probably the most popular recording I've done. Though we lost none of our eccentricity, the Invasion really refined its compositions style. Much is still derived from improvisation, but there's also some exquisite and complicated compositions. At one point, I was performing with up to three keyboards, a laptop for samples, laser theremin, vocals with digital effects, hand percussion and a recorder. Whew!
With a bouncy, funerary theme, this eclectic "art rock" band mixed Beatles with Black Sabbath and everything in-between to put a grin on your face and death on the brain. I sang and played guitar, as well as wrote most all the songs on this eclectic disc. Though tuneful, the album is so all over the place that everyone who enjoys it cites a different favorite track. Decide for yourself!
From surf rock to arabic wailings to free noise and punk, the material on this disc amused and confused audiences for months. Inspired by The Invisibles comic series and Mr. Bungle, I was recruited by the Wicker Man to play keyboards, sing/scream/bellow, and wave my hand around a theremin.
