| Introduction | Oregon native, visionary artist, multi instrumentalist, astrologer- Wandering Yeti. A home grown world view built out of spare parts left over from science fiction, Catholic school, astronomy, television, Dungeons and Dragons and Rock and Roll modified by various explorations into the arts including a 20 year plus relationship with the electric bass and acoustic guitar: Mutate and upgrade by 14 years of mind altering experiments and experience in the fine art of guerilla therapy from Wicca to OTO, from improvised shamanism to Burning Man and you get something approximating Yeti’s present state of awareness. Art is communion Art is teacher Art is human Human is Art The moniker "Uncle" Yeti is a specific choice of words to indicate that I love other people's children such as my lovely niece, but I'm just not cut out to make my own. |

| Favorite music | It has grace and intensity, crazy mad skills on whatever instrument, doesn't make me feel stupid, doesn't bore me with musical clichés, transports me into ecstatic states, touches my emotional body just so, increases my animal awareness, can be soft as an owl feather or abrasive as a freight train, anywhere in between but please hold the cookie monster vocals. |
