| Introduction | Russ Van Rooy is a composer/performer of melodic soundscapes, psychedelic rock guitar rave-ups, and acoustic folk rock songs popular on other planets. Much of what inspires Russ is the mythos and cosmology of the universe, the strangeness of consciousness and the mathematics of reality. Russ' instrumentation includes electric and acoustic guitars, analog echo and fuzz tone and sound manipulations using Audacity. |
