'Janus Vieczore' - solo electro/acoustic loops - dark, ambient, rhythm enviroments

Influences:World Music, Laswell, Eno, Hassel, Miles, Mclaughlin, Coltrane, Rypdal and most ECM. Sheepishly sounding more like Hassel than I like to admit. Drum wise: My teachers Glen Velez, & Pdt. Samir Chatterjee. The music of Colin Walcott (RIP), Trilok Gurtu, Jack DeJohnette, Ronald Shannon Jackson, & Paul Motian. Also, when I was just learnin', Bill Ward (Black Sabbath) & Frank beard (ZZ TOP) both of those guys were funky/jazzy as hell in their early days (before drugs & the music industry turned them into '4 on the Floor' zombies).
Musical Style:as above - improvised, world-music-influenced percussion, electro/acoustic loops - dark, ambient, enviroments
Recordings Available:Daikaijo - 'One Way Ticket' soundtrack funky, Zen jazz quartet ( I play drum set on this)
Janus Vieczore 'Descent' - rhythm-less dark ambient experimental.
Always interested in collaborations with other artists, either live or by tape.
Call or email if you're interested.

'things are not as they seem, nor are they otherwise' - unknown Zen teacher
