Artist Bio for Lance C Mitchell
LANCINATOR
Insight • Reflections
The times of my inspiration, the metaphors, the complexity and the simple nature of it all resonates in the spirit, in the chest and in my guitar. Ethereal energy converting into a wave in the physical plane.
Silence becomes the noise
and tunes itself to the moments that intersect reality between the light and the dark, mesmerizing, hypnotizing, until it forms on the paper the words transform beneath the chords and the chorus rings as it manifests through me into being.
The outward look, the inward look coalescing, entwined in a cacophony of tension strings that rings in harmony and in dissonance drawing the tides that ebb and flow in the vortex; the spinning whirlpool of the soul that is reflected in and of the world.
Self taught guitar mostly except for a few lessons at the Charlie Parker Foundation KC. under Hurley Dennis and some tips along the way from my dad and his friends. Picked up the guitar late in life and got in a punk band, 5th Column in SF, proceeded to form bands throughout the next 10+ years. During this time I tried my hand at the local club/bar scene and then finally dropped out...
but I never stopped making music. I just changed trajectories.
Now with modern tech I started recording again and these are my renditions past and present.
