Album Notes

KARNIS is my solo project (outside of my band SMYLIN JACK), with music leaning towards rock, funk, and fusion with an old school flavor. I'm a drummer of 30 years playing experience and I've come back into the world of music composition after a few years layoff. All KARNIS music is composed using ACID PRO 5. All songs are written, arranged and produced by Wayne Harrelson. All songs mixed and mastered at Enyaw County Studios in Frederick, Maryland. I've been playing drums since the age of 15, professionally since 18. I would describe my playing style as old school 4-on-the-floor big fat backbeat, steady as it gets, with a dash of funk on the side. My influences include Neal Peart, Dave Weckl, John Bonham, Jeff Beck, Jan Hammer, George Martin, Alan Parsons....and too many other great bands and musicians to name.

KARNIS music is various forms of rock, funk and fusion, sometimes with a twist, but always striving for that perfect groove regardless of the genre. I'm also dedicated to the art of 5.1 surround sound music. All KARNIS music is available in Windows Media Audio 5.1 surround sound for multichannel Media Center PCs and soon to be available on 5.1 CDs for DTS-capable sound systems and home theaters.
