DRT MUSIC draws upon many inspirations and genres. Short vid clip from our Fall 2023 rehearsal. The vocals are from my friend Greg in Texas. Have also done collabs with Lit Luigi and AMTV (Nigeria). They are rappers. In my songs you'll also hear William S. Buroughs, Alan Watts, Terence McKenna and other historic thinkers.
​
I inject a good dose of 'culture'. Videos from Tetsuo: The Iron Man and the Giallo movie snippets are good examples of. A Giallo movie genre themed show in the works. I do this cause I've been around for a while.
People and Bands see Live that I love. Influences.
