Tell us about yourselves!
"Underground River: the art that surrounds us, the influence on our work that is harvested from beneath the soil which we walk on. I feel like music and art is everywhere, you just have to choose a medium. Weather it be guitar, camera, piano, clay or canvas etc, Its about holding up your antenna and harnessing whats captured for your own interpretation. Songwriting to me, is like a picture or a painting that I'm constantly adding to using different instruments for colors of sound that best relate to the idea of the song or how I'm feeling. I've been recording and producing music for about 8 years now. I use primarily analog tape, mainly because I still haven't found a computer that has been able to put the depth that a tape machine does into the recording end of things. I also dig the limitation, work process, and focus of ideas that go into it.

Onemanriot started as an outlet for me.. as any other artist would doodle, I'd grab my 4 track and a sm57 and just start with ideas, overdubbing and experimenting. To me a good song can survive any recording quality. Its all about embracing the medium that your working with and Understanding what you are trying to do."-Hunter Davidsohn
