My music can be loosely grouped into three areas: Free improvisation, instrumental/lyric based composition and guitarist/sideman with other artists.
projects:
Reverend Screaming Fingers
once a high volume, searing feedback affair and now a guitar-centric instrumental and soundscape thing with the occasional foray into sonic mayhem as evidenced by the 2011 release, Music for Driving and Film, vol II.
Prehistoric Horse
a modern improvised music/noise trio with David Grollman and Valerie Kuehne. a very intense and dynamic form of improvisational music that sometimes borders on sheer noise and often incorporates the dramatic and absurd. birthed at the Boise Experimental Music Festival in 2009 and recently performed at the esteemed 2011 Sonic Circuits Festival. more
LMNo!
free improvised guitar/reeds/electronics duo collaboration with Steve Norton
Richard Lainhardt & LM
minimalist, expansive sounds via Buchla/Hakken Contiuum and processed lap steel guitar. more
microdecibel
composed & conducted improvisations with a focus on the quiet side of things. more
Lucifer Meltdown
damaged lyric based punk, pop, rock songs, re-conceptualized and sung with gusto to the best of my meager abilities. of late combined with sonic mayhem interludes – ie: song/interlude/song/interlude.
Strangelet
