about

I've always been drawn to wherever the banjo makes a twang.

The Twang album is a project in which I take a kaleidoscopic approach to the banjo's diverse history and musical input and dare to blend its many sounds into a melting pot that tries to avoid getting too focused on the intricate naunces of any one genre, but rather creating a soundspace for the banjo to flow free around the rhythms an just come up with a good excuse to have the craic.

There are more pieces being dreamt up as this project develops so keep an ear out.
