Thanks for stopping by. I am a composer, arranger and guitar player. I mostly write atmospheric and ambient instrumental guitar pieces with ethnic and folky feel. I usually use e-bow and slide in all my tracks to emulate the eerie Theremin sounds on guitar.
I find my inspiration in folk legends, myths and tales. I love reading about them. Whether it is Celtic Emrys, Mesopotamian Shahmaran or Indian Kali, all folk legends and myths fascinate and enchant me.
My main musical influences are Pink Floyd (who could resist them), King Crimson (especially the mighty Robert Fripp), Jeff Beck, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Return to Forever, Alan Parsons Project, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Jethro Tull, the classical crossover band of 70s and 80s Sky, Tom Morello, Consider the Source and their unique guitar enchanter Gabriel Akhmad Marin.
My sound is mostly shaped by the use of pitch shifters (thanks Tom Morello for the inspiration), ebow (thank you Chords of Orion) and slide. I battle with fretting hand focal dystonia (aka musician's dystonia) for the past decade, and using ebow and slide helps me bypass this inconvenience while playing guitar.
I also try to produce cinematic visuals for my songs.
The pillars of my musical spirit and my soundscape are respect and love for the humanity, consideration for the planet, tolerance towards all beings, and compassion for the less fortunate.
