Bass Guitar, Drums, Electronic Music.ABOUT
Hi All,
I've been working on my own project, The Dirty Sunshine, for years with various line-ups as well as working in other folks projects like my friends John Virag or the singer Mariko from NYC.
Since moving to UT, I've played with the band Ahbril (now on hiatus) and recently just started the band The Stoats with some of the guys from Ahbril.
I am a jazz guitar and recording and sound design major graduating from Duquesne in Pittsburgh, PA. I have 30+ years of experience playing guitar, bass, singing, drums, etc...
I also have conducted a new music ensemble in Pittsburgh that played music from Gino Robair, Anthony Braxton, Cage, Glass, etc...
The Stoats is consuming the majority of my time right now but I'm happy to help out where I can with projects outside of the band. If you need some help with a song or even music production work let me know.
Cheers,
Rick(dot)tds(dot)sound (at)
