Current Projects

This section of my site is for my current performance and recording projects. At any time, one or more of them will be getting a bigger share of my attention.

Right now, I'm actively booking the Aria Project for weddings and private parties.

If you're interested in a particular project, contact me.

As of January 2009 the West Side Jam is still on hold and I am no longer putting jazz bands together for one-shot performances, or maintaining the Too Bass Hit jazz band. Too Bass Hit demos are no longer available.

Weddings

I am available to play a variety of ceremonies including weddings. Since I am not part of the Bridal Industrial Complex I don't believe in charging people extra just because they're getting married.

I'm running an experiment right now involving my booking fees for weddings. For details see my Weddings page.

USS New Mexico

The USS New Mexico project has finished recording and is available for sale at $7 per CD. Each CD contains the USS New Mexico song, a bonus track containing the US National Anthem in Navajo as performed by Terry Teller, and assorted bonus materials.

You can get the CD either through me by mail order (just E-mail me and I'll send you the details), or once everything is in place with my distributor you will be able to buy it online here: Buy This CD Now At StretchTheSkies.com

I played Galatea for all the guitar parts. Check out a sample here.

Aria Project: Book Me As A Solo Act

I am actively booking the Aria Project, which is a solo acoustic performance. Instead of playing Galatea, I play an acoustic or classical guitar that will be amplified with a microphone or electronically as the location and occasion require.

For more information about the act, see the link here.

Thünderbünny

This is comedic heavy metal for the over-21 crowd. I'm doing the songwriting and arrangement, and probably the vocals and lead guitar. This project is still in the writing stage, chiefly because I've been busy with the other projects on this page.

Film and Advertising Credits

I'm a New Mexico based business serving the film and advertising industries. Here's a list of the things I accomplished in 2008 and early 2009:

• "Family Routes" film (written and directed by Jerry Ueckert, in production) background music and voice-over. Filming completed late 2009. Uncertain as to how much of my stuff will end up on the cutting room floor, but so it goes!
• Radio advertising for www.backyardchickens.com
• "A Lonely Place For Dying" film (Prodigi Pictures, pre-release), set decoration
