Franz Hoff

Bio

Guitarist, writer, composer, producer, experimenter, gear junkie and many other labels. I've been playing and writing music for well more than half my life. I write in a multitude of genres and am always looking to expand my horizons and incorporate new ideas and styles to my playing. I am looking for people to create with (prefer a female vocalist). I am open to ideas, but I would like to do something raw and lo-if, yet refined. Something indie/alternative/rock - ish. I'd love a cellist in the mix as well as incorporating electronic elements. Want to know more, just ask! Keep rocking and enJOY the journey

This is a trite and silly question... Music does to me what it does to everyone. It is the great unifyer and connects us all, down to the essence of our beings; without judgment or bias.

What is your music dream?

To share messages of hope and love.

If you could change the world - what would you start with?

i would transform all hate and intolerance into love and compassion. Note that I said transform; as opposed to destroy or eliminate or get rid of or wipe out etc. As hate and intilerance cannot be changed through destruction or more hate; only through love. And, that us often easier said than done.

the whole Journey Escape album and Shock Me by KISS(Ace Frehley).

life and all the wondrous things that encompasses
