Bio
Michelle Christides
Simon's Rock College has the extraordinary good fortune to have tenured Professor John Myers, who is not only a gifted musician but also a gifted multi-media computer programmer. He is dedicated to teaching young people developing their creative gifts the practical skills to find the media to communicate them. John arranged for me to advise one of his students in his senior thesis project on the creative process. He collaborated with me on the Tibetan Ascension Game for westerners, contributing, in addition to his artistic and technical expertise, his in-depth knowledge of the world-view of the East. Finally, John is one of the nicest people I know and I am proud to call him a friend and colleague.

The Synapse Brothers is a new improvisatory band that merges elements of electroacoustic music with jazz and funk. The band features, in live performance settings, Bob Gluck (keyboards and electronics) and John Myers (guitars and MIDI-guitar), and behind the scenes in pre- and post-production, electronic music pioneer Patrick Gleeson, whose beats and sound design embellish and grace the live playing. The repertoire of the Synapse Brothers explores original work and music of Herbie Hancock's early 1970s Mwandishi Band, of which Gleeson was a member. The results so far have been engaging and, at times, just plain fun. Show less
