Album Notes

Stone Document is a progressive - ambient - fusion trio project manned by drummer/keyboardist, Mike Roze, guitarist, Dennis “Doc” Tirch, and Chapman Stick player, Mark Christensen. Check any preconceptions about "prog rock" or “jam based” music at the attic door, grab some headphones, and give a listen to this blend of electronic pulse, psychedelic improvisations, and a return to music without borders. Stone Document evokes the experimental spirit of early art rock, while delving through the limits of electronic sound. They are sometimes even allowed a sense of humor.

Live performances involve elements of free jazz, ambient/dub, and intense experimental excursions. Drummer, Mike Roze has lent his engineering and studio expertise to the likes of Mercury Rev, King Crimson and Lamb of God. Tirch is a veteran experimental guitarist, who has spent the last several years studying the Guitar Craft approach to music through Tony Geballe, and on retreats with Robert Fripp and other senior “Crafties.’” Mark Christensen is also a Guitar Craft student who has contributed to projects by Regional Science Fair, Arty LaVigne, Cyrus Chestnutt, and The John Tower Group.
