The bulk of my music is a result of my personal search for spirituality and in dealing in some cognitive way with what society and doctors like to call "mental illness". I'd like to think that good or bad mental health is just a "state of mind", and that reality is what one wants to make of it. My perception of that reality is quite probably a fair amount out of sinc with what might be considered the mainstream, and it shows in my music.....I realize I'm not technically the best guitarist,keyboardist, vocalist,etc., but I absolutely guarantee you will not find a more imaginative nor musically and lyrically diverse package rolled up into a single musician!! Enjoy with head phones please..... From about 1996 until October of 2007 (mostly in the the last 5 years), Coamhim created more than 250 complete songs and many dozens more partial and incomplete audio projects. His musical stylings are totally eclectic; it is impossible to cubbyhole his creativity. He has produced songs in every genre imaginable: Rock,Country Rock, Blues, World, Emo, Christian, Experimental, Ambient, Trance, Alternative,Spoken Word, Rap, Hip Hop, Americana, Folk, Acoustic, Funk, Metal, Easy Listening, etc...His bedroom would usually end up being his studio where ever he lived. He worked with a $150 electric guitar knock-off, a $150 bass guitar knock-off, an $600 Korg electric keyboard, a $100 acoustic guitar knock-off, a $300 programmable drum "machine" , a couple of different guitar pedals, a $20 garage sale Wurlitzer organ, a $50 microphone, and a computerized music program called Pro Tools (Also an old piano when he lived with us). Later on he threw in an ocarina and a pan pipe. Also, earlier on he used pots and pans for his percussion and our upstairs bathroom (in Seattle) at 2 and 3 in the morning for drumming, singing, screaming and what ever other sounds he needed to make for a particular song. Basically he did music almost whenever and wherever he could. His mind was constantly overflowing with music, and he had to "let it all out". Coamhim has never been and never will be a great guitarist, he's just adequate on the keyboards, and his vocals will never get him to American Idol. But I absolutely guarantee you there is not a more imaginative musical or lyrical mind ANYWHERE!! What he might lack in physical skills he more than makes up with imagination, tenacity, technical expertise, and a laser musical focus. When he would step into his "creative zone" he often would work 12, 16, 20 hours or more straight. Those finely honed talents and skills have allowed him to produce an unimaginable volume and variety of songs. As a side note, many of you already know of his legal troubles, and because of them he will be spending the next 3 to 4 years in the Arizona State prison system. He has told me that he doesn't think he will ever again compose any more music. I don't know if that statement will come to fruition or not. So, if you are inclined, open up the music and let it flow.....
