about

Chanedra was a word I came up with in a dream, which the dream defined as, "A hole in the ground through which Hell passes."

I composed Chanedra during my senior year at Brown University. It was probably the first piece that I composed on guitar, where I relied on standard music notation to write it out while I was working up the riffs. The influence of Red-era King Crimson should be pretty obvious to the listener!

It's the first time drummer John Roulat and I recorded original music together. John and I would later work together in the band Bone with bassist/composer Hugh Hopper. Today John plays drum in my metal band Häßliche Luftmasken, and I am thrilled to continue working with him, as well as having a look back at our origins together!

I am grateful to my friend Pat Eastman, who played the beautiful piano intro to this piece.

Guitar was a Gibson L6-S with a DiMarzio Super Distortion pickup into a Lab Series head, into a Marshall 1960a 4x12 cab.

Chanedra has never been released before.
