i record songs and play most of the instruments, but i work with others as well. over the years i've played in bands and i've been involved with various projects that have amounted to very little. i also record noise, make noise, and encourage others to make noise i can record. i've hacked my way through several instruments including acoustic and electric guitars, bass, banjo, drums and percussion, thumb piano, charango, ocarina, keyboards, ukelele, and miscellaneous noisemakers. i've distributed my music under a bunch of names reflecting my continual dissatisfaction with them all. many people know my stuff as pitchfork or jasper crabb. at this point it all doesn't matter. maybe someday I'll put out a real CD.
much of what i do is created spontaneously so my methods of recording are integrated with my writing technique and style. i'm influenced by many different types of music such as experimental noise, folk, punk, traditional african, early jazz, bluegrass, and of course most forms of rock. i prefer real instruments and i make homemade samples, though i do use stuff from movies and sound effect CDs. future projects include a CD of street musicians recorded on streets and subways of the americas and europe, and the release of a couple of collaborations. all of these things will appear on this web site.
