This is something completely different. I imagine some or many of you won't like it, but I want to tell you about it and the process. I love it, it's a group called Symbiosis and we just get together with our synths and play free…

I think I've told a couple of people that Pat Metheny is one of my favorite musicians/composers of all time. (I know its crazy). I just think his tunes lay really well with a percussion ensemble. I don't really want to sound like him,…
