3 T LAW (timing, tune, touch) 8/07/2009

How to develop a great Timing.

You need to have a metronome absolutely, that will become your Best Friend.
Always practice with that.

When you are practicing a rhythm:

1 – Try to put down the speed (bpms), for example let’s think that you have a funky riff at 120 bpm in 16^th notes. Play that at 3 different speed, 60 bpm, 90 bpm and 120 bpm, low, mid, hi speed.

2 – For those who want to develop a “Great” timing: let’s think that you have 20 minutes to practice that rhythm; do that at 40 bpm for 5 mins, 60 bpm for 10 minutes, 90 bpm for 3 and 120 bpm for 2 minutes.

Do those exercises on all the rhythms you have to write, practice and play with the band or for your album etc..

In less than 3 months, working everyday like this you will get a “perfect” timing at any speed, you will get the so called “inside sync”. Guaranteed, I did that for several years and I still do that.

September 2025

I'm excited to announce my sixth studio album "The Revolution Of Evolution", set for release on September 21st, 2025 through FusionCore Records.

About the Album
This 10-track instrumental prog metal opus represents three years of intensive creative work and marks my most complete musical statement to date.
Every instrument has been performed and produced by myself, with guest appearances by Jay Parmar on "Pulse" and "Magnolia Ave" (solos 2 and 4).
The stunning cover artwork is created by Mark Bridgeman.

The Title's Meaning
The title completes a full circle that began with my first EP "Evolution" in 2008 - this album represents the final chapter of that 17-year artistic journey. Beyond personal evolution, the title also addresses contemporary social themes: the unnecessary and potentially risky overuse of AI, cyber media, and information overload in our modern world.

First Single: "Undercurrent"
The album opens with "Undercurrent", a powerful metaphor for events unfolding in the shadow of seemingly larger occurrences. Written in 2020, the song reflects on significant historical events of our current century.
