Tautologic
An eclectic, adventurous, forward-thinking, brainy, ironic project
that dabbles in just about every style you can imagine. We've done two rock theater
and multi-media productions and are working on more. I'm fortunate to be able to
work with such fantastic musicians.
I also play solo and small acoustic ensemble gigs with members of Tautologic.
We do occasionally work as a "backing band for hire" for
singer-songwriters who need a studio or live band, generally as an
extension of my production work. E-mail for rates and more info.
Past:
Ethan Sellers Band - An eclectic roots-oriented folk-rock band with a world beat
influence, political conscience, and a party attitude. We decided to
put the project on hiatus when we learned that one of our members was moving.
It was a good ride, though! Most of ESB's repertoire has since found its way
into Tautologic set lists, and it is more likely than not that Tautologic will
finish the recording project that ESB began.
Soul Calculus - A free-form jazz-rock improvisation project, featuring several
members of Tautologic. We didn't really have any songs, although there were
certain pet licks and motives that periodically re-surfaced to form the basis
of some jams. The group dissolved when its members got busy with other projects,
but its free-wheeling approach is something I wouldn't mind re-visiting where
appropriate.
Grand Unified Theory - My college band. I've seen several bands with the same
name since then, but in 1993-1995 or so, we were the only one. As you might
guess from the name, we were a band of big ideas - and not much experience.
Ah, youth - what better time to learn how not to do things?
