NEW RELEASE "SUBAQUEOUS"
Solo Guitar pieces recorded in my garage 2020-2021. After sitting on this music 5 years or so, I'm following @djjazzyjeff advice to not let unreleased music die on a computer drive.
Featuring "Zev (He Became Thunder)", recorded on the night @mfdoom passing was announced to the world.

16 years ago I began working with @prestonsingletary1 , originally on keyboards (pic from my first session on a Preston project), before joining @khueex on guitar (making it full-circle after jumping over from bass in Red Earth after jumping over from guitar in most other groups). Eternal gratitude to Pres for pulling me up and sharing so many opportunities with me and being such a great brother, mentor, collaborator, etc.
Was good to be back on stage tonight with the @khueex family. Uncle Bernie's spirit of WOO was with us. Haven't enjoyed playing live this much in a very long time. Thanks for the lift, unc.
