Soul Rock, soon

For a a couple years now, I've been saying to people who ask me about music that I's love to make some more music and get a new band going. Well, I would. A couple of opportunities sort of fell through. Off and on when we have the mutual convergence of free time, Ted and I have played together. I've done a little music making and exploring some new ways of making sounds. I'd like to take some lessons in guitar, drums, and/or voice. I need to begin writing lyrics.

Most interestingly, I want to make Soul Rock. I've never heard the term before. Nonetheless, what I mean by it is that I want to connect my life with my rock roots and step forward with music making creativity from emptiness and the way. I don't have a prescription or equation for this endeavor. I have influences like H.R., KRS-ONE, bad brains, nomeansno, the refused, fugazi, 7seconds, gang of four, sonic youth, tortoise, and the international noise conspiracy to name some good examples.

Make music from the heart, from positive intention, from emptiness, & with attention and it will resonate in the soul of all who play or hear it. That's the place from which I wish to make music.

Listen to H.R. or your favorite band that resonates in your soul and revitalizes you. Let me know if you are interested in creating Soul Rock music.
