Bio
Rough Sketches....
Who said "I know a good song when I hear it"? And who said, "Music is the space between the notes"?
Rough Sketches, we'll call him Steve, started long ago trying to write his first classical orchestration for sax & bassoon. Then he hogged his brother's Sears guitar, banging out old and new ditties. And then came a real guitar and live duet performances, winning the big pizza at The University talent contest. Yet songwriting and assisting performing artists remains his passion.
His songwriting styles vary from basic Rock, Blues, Country Rock, Dance-ables, Progressive Country, Ballads, Quasi-moto Skat, and humorous with an occasional Kazoo. He's particularly fond of single or dual guitar parts with a dominate lead bass line, combined with voice and subtle harmonies. His guitar style can sometimes be percussive, driving the modulation or style, while picking a complex or structured rhythm. And any help and additions from better musicians is always wonderful.
Lyrically, there's a story behind each song and there's always room to hone each song's expression. His songwriting and compositions focus on melody, structure, arrangement and ideas that can someday be perfected by the writer or others. And there's many dozen scores more in the backlog to post.
So, listen and enjoy....or least find one song you might like to perform or record.
Regards,
Steve@Rough Sketches
