welcome to gonterian.com

I am so pleased to have the opportunity to have built a site where you can enjoy my art and music. I've been a musician since elementary school, played woodwinds in junior high happily. Shortly thereafter a guitar changed everything. Lately I've been playing keyboards and using midi programming. I like to mix it all up. In addition to playing and creating music, I draw and also love to push paint around. There is a good slideshow of abstract acrylics on the art page. The design page is funny. If you hover the mouse over the images, they'll freeze. Some may have links to other goodies.

I used instruments, local organic vegetables and programming to create the layers of sound that make up the tracks. It took three years and a lot of encouragement to get it made. I'm so proud!

Cacophony was a huge project which received support from so many people who can't possibly all be thanked right here. Thank you all again.

I've got new art and music projects in the work---oil paintings and two EPs: one breakbeat screamer for the playa, and "the next step" a new full-length I hope to bring to the playa in '09.

I realize by design this site allows the download of copyright material. I authorize you to download this content on a "shareware basis." You can donate what you feel you should pay. The music and graphics are copyrighted materials, so keep for a test drive, pay if you feel like it. There is a secure paypal support button here. Fair enough?

I hope you find inspiration here. Shanti.
