This is the archive page of my music. What is here was mastered up to 2006. Some of the original source tracks come from as long ago as 1987 and were recorded on my 4- track tascam cassette recorder. Anyway here is the back story.

I have been making music for almost as long as I have been making visual art. My first formal music training was on the saxophone.  My first electric rig was  a Silvertone Amp and Stradalin Bass. I played in a few bands. In college -I started jamming and sometimes recording with people. By about 1980 I had gotten a few interesting instruments and started my first recordings with 2-cassette recorders. Next I bought my first electric guitar and finally a decent "recording setup" a 4-track tascam cassette recorder. I recorded hundreds of hours of tracks. Many of these original tracks worked very well as source material in the digital recording era. The Tascam eventually died. But not before I added a moog rogue which I got by incredible luck in New York in 1985. Continued to add assorted sampling keyboards and percussion machines a Fender Strat and a Gibson Sonex which was tweaked with a Demarzio Screamer Pickup and yes I still have the Stradalin Bass. In recent years gifts of a high quality tambourine and Bongos have enhanced the percussion. I now have one computer that is dedicated only to recording my music and "song making" has become a pleasure.Snce about 1990 I have recorded with several other people on some material-primarily  David Wheatley and Tim Chambers. I've recorded over 500 hours of raw tracks and actually assembled 5 complete albums. I've had some "Internet chart success" on music web sites from time to time, Lately I don't bother with these. Incredibly some of my stuff is used as incidental music by the state television network of the former Soviet Republic of Georgia And I do seem to have a small cult following in the USSR ????

The Secret Marine Band Sessions- Recordings from -2009 released on 01.01.2010 on ZUZULA IN 5.1 UNCOMPRESSED SOUND. These are for the most part harder edge than earlier projects and feature more distortion driven guitar tracks as well as piano rhythms and light percussion. Although as the year progressed things lightened up a bit. Last song completed 12.31.09

I seem to have entered a new era with my music . We are now in the age of the bot ripper & search engine optimization & it irequires some new behavoirs on my part. I have provided a free resource of my interpersonal music & art and been repaid with incredible activity- as much as 9000 hits a month since August 2011. But it is difficult to tell if these are real people or robots. So moving forward all songs recieving 100 hits a month will be removed to Zuzula where you may buy them once and own them for $0.59 each - If this is a hardship simply register with me and I will provide free access to all and any of my content. To register email bkonwh@gmail.com The culprit for this action is an application called NS Player 11.0- It is now responsible for 90% of the activity on my website and I simply dont believe that anyone is actually out there.
