    About Perry

    Music

    Engineering

     

    The music that I really dig is influenced by funk, prog-rock, classical, mediteranian-folk, Latin, Greek, Jazz... a fusion of styles.

    Improvisation is the most satisfying thing to do for me musically, once the musical framework is in place.  

     

    As a guitarist I've been influenced mostly by Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Wah-Wah Watson, Mike Stern (Miles Davis Era), John McLaughlin, Greek Bouzouki music, Afro-Cuban rythyms, North African music, Indian music...

     

    For the most part I'm self taught on the guitar and bass. Studying violin for several years as a kid helped develop my ears. I read chord charts and musical notation when necessary but prefer and seem to rely on my ears mainly. Studied jazz guitar for two years. I learned some valuable and useful stuff during that time. There are many good books out there to learn from as well. It's a lifelong pursuit, which i have not even sratched the surface of.

    Engineering has the same opportunity for creativity and self-expression as music. That's what is great about it to me. It's fun to love doing more than just one thing, two things is the minimal best i think. Because when you kind of get tired of one thing you can switch over to the other thing you love for a while, like a swing or pendulum. Like what i do with Music and Engineering.
