Koda’s Music
I didn’t start playing guitar till I was 20, then I spent the next 26 years being totally dedicated to my career as a songwriter and recoding artist, which never materialized. I believed that if the music was good, people would buy it, but they have to hear it first and I suck at self promotion. I wanted to write truly original music so I paid no attention to genre. The result is everything from spacey, psychedelic head trips, acoustic ballads and instrumentals, to high energy, often silly rock. I was in a number of failed bands that never played live, but the most serious band effort was my duo with Darren Weight, which lasted for 7 years. We created all kinds of different music, but when he left for a lucrative job as a DJ and night club manager, I collected our spacey stuff and released the Head CD under the name Psychic Trance Fur. I have since released similar songs I did under that name.
I released an album of acoustic demos called The Early Years by Koda. The songs, performed with acoustic guitar, are heartfelt and often melancholy or sad, but some are simply beautiful.
An album of fun, often silly, mostly rock songs was once released as an album called What the.. Huh? under the band name Huh? The only place to hear that stuff now is on my YouTube channel, CosmicKoda. You can also find the above two albums on that channel. I don’t claim that material is all that great, but it was fun to play and can be good if you are in the mood for it.
I also have MP3s of dozens more unreleased songs and fragments that I am willing to share with anyone who actually feels like a fan of my music. Send an email via the Contact link. Describe which of the songs from above you like most and I will send you something that sounds similar - that probably fewer than a dozen people have ever heard.
