The following are recent works-in-progress. In the last two years I have taken part in six new projects, including the production of a solo album.

The Great Jamboni Weather Report, Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis, & John Scofield names some of our main influences. This rocking quartet is organically growing into the sonic landscape of the SF Peninsula and Greater SF Bay Area, pulling members from several local projects including Ben Wa, Five Eyed Hand, Shawn Evans Band and Mission Players. Expect to hear much more jazzy funk from this group. Regular members (so far) include Eric "Dr." Ware (keys), Jeb "sideburns" Taylor (bass), Dave "dRaunch" Oshman (guitar) and yours truly on drums. (page coming soon). 1020 Point Lawrence Recorded in Olga, WA on Orcas Island, this music was captured during several jazzy, free-form sessions in June of 2003. From renditions of Metheny to atonal blues, it was an experiment in impromptu rock. (10 songs). Avalon Digital Sessions Recorded at the Avalon Digital Studios in San Luis Obispo, CA in December of 2002. These sessions were used for introducing new ideas to collaborators to spur song-writing efforts. This has culminated in at least two other projects, and hopefully more! (11 jams). Black Dove Quartet The Black Dove Quartet is a swingish band in San Francisco, CA. They are (or were at the time of these recordings) Rockabilly meets Alternative. These songs were recorded for a demo CD in February 2003. Recordings are pretty rough, but good enough to get the ball rolling. (2 songs). The War Album The first album in production is a religious war concept album from one of the Bletchley Park Project conpirators. With the essence of The Wall mixed with upbeat tempos and latin guitars, it's a new take on Pink Floyd meets Rush meets The Police...in case that one's been done before. (12 songs). The Stars Written by the other Bletchley Park Project conspirators, I was asked to collaborate on the writing of these tunes. We're talking punk-pop-punk. (7 songs). The Mansion This is a compilation of songs and jams generated at The Mansion, a deserted yet commodius abode in the heart of Silicon Valley. At least one project is being spawned as a result of these cominglings of instruments and minds and space. Songs are courtesy of Shawn Evans, and jams are courtesy of...well, of life. (100+ recordings). Solo I am The Funkonaut. So if you'd like to take a journey (to another world perhaps), strap in and turn up. These tunes will get you there...wherever there is. (4 songs). |
