The Blackwater Project
  

Currently working on a new and amazing project called "DeepSkyTraveler" with fellow Acidplanet artists Mark Moffre and Faceless Ape. We collaborated earlier this year on a series of monstrous original tracks and decided the chemistry was too wicked to give up. Go check out the newest track on the DeepSkyTraveler page here:

I was fortunate enough to have my original song "Good News Bad Guy" featured in the soundtrack of the independent film "Waiting on Alphie". Visit the website:

I also produced several original tracks for the Unreal Tournament mod "Jurassic Rage". More info about the game here:

In beginning my stay here at AcidPlanet, it was my original hope to collaborate with some talented, serious musicians via the Net. So far, I've been blessed to work with some of AP's most talented: Mark Moffre, Dean Boudreau, Vaporsix, Centaurfire, The Jolly Roger Foundation, Jshill, JDrums, Ronnie Rokk, LonelyWolf, Sonic Mayhym and Curtis Johnson (on what was maybe one of the most inspiring collaborations I've done so far). I'm thankful for having met all of these artists and I hope the list continues to grow.

- "But the man who creates the music is hearing something else, is dealing with the roar rising from the void and imposing order on it as it hits the air. What is evoked in him, then, is of another order, more terrible because it has no words, and triumphant, too, for that same reason. And his triumph, when he triumphs, is ours."
James Baldwin, Sonny's Blues

 

 

I've played the guitar for just over ten years and I've played the drums since I could hold a stick. I've been in a few ill-fated but highly enjoyable bands. My father and brother were musicians; my mother was patient to put up with all of us; and my fiancee is pure inspiration. Music has been an integral part of my life for as long as I can remember.

 

 

Just me and those who either support me or appreciate the music that I make.

 

 

Heartfelt music. Rock. Acoustic. Alternative. Metal. In the end, it's all music.

 

 

Alice In Chains, STP, Tool, 311, Incubus, Sevendust, Pearl Jam, Godsmack, Silverchair, Black Sabbath, Metallica, Megadeth, King's X, Fear Factory, A Perfect Circle, Dark New Day, Avenged Sevenfold, Rage Against The Machine, Chevelle, Pantera... and a list that goes on for years

 

 

Fender Performer (precursor to the Squire), Roland VS-840GX (for EQ & FX), Digitech RP6 pedal board, Acid Music, a PC, Koss headphones, Gatorgrip picks, a cool pair of magic shoes. . . and the imagination

 

 

NEED SINGERS, drummers or bassists.... I'm a guitar player with playing ability that ranges from ballads to hard rock and metal. I've accumulated a rather large catalog of original songs and have collaborated with Mark Moffre, Dean Boudreau, Vaporsix, Centaurfire, The Jolly Roger Foundation, Jshill, JDrums, Ronnie Rokk, LonelyWolf, Sonic Mayhym and Curtis Johnson. If you're interested, please contact me. Also, if you need a guitar player, I'm your man. I would love to work with someone new. Life is short: Rock hard.
