This page is for all of my musical projects. Everything is solo right now (but I would love to collaborate with some one if there are any interested parties). Right now that consists of:

Hand on Metal - a hank drum project...both acoustic and electric. (used to have a myspace page, but it got deleted...I don't know how...will remake soon).
The hank drum is a drum I made out of a propane tank (not my original idea unfortunately). Metal tabs of different sizes are cut into the surface, which when hit vibrate at different frequencies, giving you different tones. This drum has both a melodic and percussive sound to it. Go ahead and give it a listen. All recordings are purely improvised.

Brain Hemorrhage - experimental electronic project using computer software (can also find some of these songs on sutros.com/richardpetti)
This is some crazy electronic music made dominately with Fruity Loops.

DSentery - experimental electronic project with songs composed on with the KORG DS-10 software for the Nintendo DS (look for my myspace page).

I also play guitar and so some of that may surface in the near future.

Bands/artists I frequently listen to (and so must have some influence on what I do, although I am not sure I hear it directly) in no particular order:
Dysrhythmia
Estradasphere
Cephalic Carnage
Cleric
Buckethead
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum
Blotted Science
Death Cube K
The Book of Knots
Secret Chiefs 3
...I am sure there are plenty of others, but I cannot think of anymore at this moment.
