Cello Grinder

Portland OR

Description

I don't play the cello like it was meant to be played. Nor do I write classical music. I play through vintage fuzz & delay growling out of an old half stack. I say make it darker, more aggressive, powered by big crescendos, hypnotizing minimalism---with a solid collaborative sense of rhythm & negative space---i.e. when not to play. Endless jams are epic boredom, and I glower at noodling guitar solos and gratuitously complicated time signatures. Loopers & laptop rockers look elsewhere. Odd & out-of-place instruments encouraged. Lets write stuff that sticks. I hear Primitive Man, Dry Cleaning, Half Japanese, Melvins, Dwyer, Segall, Bartok, Birthday Party, Nails, Miles, Mothers, Sunn, Dreamdecay, Moondog I am 50 but I'll melt your mind with what I do. And please, no mandolin. Good day. P.s.-- To whichever stereotypical juvenile troll(s) with nothing better to do but flag legit ads. Try going outside. You'll like it, I swear.
