Sign of the Dog (Soundtrack)
Artist Comments The American Indian had tribes and nations spread once, throughout the U.S. Some were farmers and fishermen,others spiritual diplomats and some architects. There were a few sociaties whose purpose was to keep order and police, with the onslaught of settlers moving west, these sociaties turned to conflict and the art of war. Most Indian Nations are surrounded with a degree of enigma and mysticism but, none fasctinate me more than the Cheyenne. When chaos was taking over the Cheyenne Nations, a Chief named Little Robe, gathered the Cheyenne Chiefs and they formed sociaties to police the tribes and restore order among them. Many bands were created, The Crooked Lance and Wolf sociaties. The bowstrings and Red Shield Bands but, the last to be formed was the most honored, the most respected and, the most feared. Today, in military colleges and academies throughout the world, they are still regarded as having one of the finest light cavalries the world has ever seen. Among the Cheyenne they were called "Hotamitaneo", the U.S. Army however, gave them another name, "Dog Soldiers".

I have been doing music for about 25 years. I have no greater love on this earth, save family of course. I find inspiration and guidance in life's oddities. For example, I was watching the movie "Big Fish", you know the part with all the spiders? Anyway, I thought, wouldn't it be neat if all the spiders started playing the strings on thier webs all at once, I wonder what it would sound like. That is the place, and places like that, where I find myself when I write. Music to me is feeling rather than sound. In my opinnion, sound creates emotion, feeling inspires imagination. This is the main reason why I wouldn't and couldn't limit myself the learning of just one instrument.
I live in Georgia, however, I am not native. I have lived in several different states around the country but, I find the most beautiful to be the southwest. There is something magical about the desert. I am currently the lead guitarist and song writer for a metal band that I founded. Most say they find my lyrics disturbing, not that it has negative or morbid content, but they say they find it, well....alien. My only response to this is, cool. I hope you enjoy what I've given and what I'm going to give however, If you do or don't like what you hear just remember one thing, I thank you very much for taking the time to try it and, most importantly, I'm not really here.
I am influenced more by the piece than the artist and the moment in which it is delivered. I love , of course, composers such as, Hans Zimmer, Trevor Rabin, Jan Hammer, and The Dean....John Williams.I would love to hear a soundtrack composed by James Horner and PinkFloyd, wouldn't that be awsome?
