We are thrilled and stunned to present one mega-video featuring interviews with Jan Zehrfeld of Panzerballett, Mattias IA Eklundh of Freak Kitchen, Jen Majura of Evanescence, and Mike Keneally of Frank Zappa/Joe Satriani/Steve Vai. "X-mas Death Jazz" is Panzerballett's new album and, if you ask us, one of the top albums of the year. Each artist talks us through the album and what it took to record it. Hope you enjoy this as much as we enjoyed making it!

Let’s explore Jen Majura’s super-fun album, Inzenity. You may recognize Jen as the guitarist for Evanescence, but that’s only a slice of what she does musically. Check this album out.

Jan Zehrfeld is the bandleader of the German jazz-metal band, Panzerballett. They have written ear-defying songs based entirely on quintuplets (5 notes per beat) and septuplets (7 notes per beat). Learn how Jan has put these techniques to use and see/hear examples. It's incredible!

Make Weird Music VERY proudly presents a new piece of music called "Three Legged Dog" featuring Morgan Ågren, Jan Zehrfeld, John Landy, Anthony Garone, Russell Muller

Song written by Anthony Garone and Jan Zehrfeld

In November 2016, Mike Keneally played a concert at our Mesa, AZ USA headquarters/home. Here's a great clip of him plowing his way through some fun Gentle Giant song intros. Enjoy!

Mike Keneally (Frank Zappa, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Dethklok) was kind enough to grace MWM headquarters in Mesa, AZ on November 12, 2016 with a house concert. He did several songs with the incredible Andy West (Dixie Dregs, Crazy Backwards Alphabet). Here's a song from the 1995 album they released together as The Mistakes. This is a pretty rare thing to see.

There aren't enough Henry Cow/Fred Frith/Tim Hodgkinson transcriptions out there, so I thought I'd take a whack at the intro to one of my favorite Henry Cow pieces, "The Decay of Cities." Transcription is available at Soundslice: https://www.soundslice.com/scores/61172/

Courtney Swain is the singer of Bent Knee and a Berklee graduate with a powerful voice. Learn more about her solo efforts and her work in Bent Knee in our interview with her.

Here is Mike playing one of my favorite of his songs in my dining room. He performed a house concert with Andy West the night before and we spent a little time the next day recording some other stuff, including this video. He's never played this song live, so I consider this pretty special.

We are SUPER excited to present our first house concert featuring Michael Manring. There's over an hour of concert footage in the for-purchase video and then another 18 minutes of free promo content in this video, including a performance of "What If" by Steve Morse with the Dixie Dregs' own Andy West!

Ben Levin joins me for a fun interview to talk about his solo efforts and his consortium/creative collective of bands.

In 2013, I released a crazy interpretation of J. S. Bach's Concerto for Oboe and Violin (BWV 1060R), 1st Movement featuring:

Sebastian Lanser of Panzerballett on drums

Andy West of Dixie Dregs on bass

Adam Strand on keyboards

Anthony Garone (me) on guitars

Bryce Bickham on guitar amplification and engineering

Ever wanted to learn the song "Experience" by Gentle Giant? I've had that fantasy for years! Now I've finally figured out a way to play it on the guitar. And so can you...

The Residents are a performance art, avant garde band that's been making music, video, software, and more since the early 1970s. They are one of the most creative, mysterious, and creepy bands in the world and are a fantastic source of inspiration for anyone looking to make their music a little weirder.

In this video, we pick apart "Hell's Bells" from Bruford's 1979 release, "One of a Kind." It's a fun, complex song with an intro that makes use of odd time signatures and key modulations.
