IDENTITY THEORY

As the fates would have it, the First August concert was canceled — a reschedule is pending. And now I’m in limbo. take care keep cool stay in tune JCS * www.IDENTITYTHEORY.net * IDENTITY THEORY is a gothic project of hypnotic beats, reverb-heavy guitar melodies, symphonic texture, and the haunted voice of Jonathan Carter Schall; inspired by the sounds of Dead Can Dance, Massive Attack, Bjork; and the film scores of Bernard Herrmann, and Jerry Goldsmith * * #goth #gothic #gothambient #gothicambient #darkambient #postpunk #identitytheory #identitytheoryband #jonathancarterschall #dupuytrenscontracture #soloartist #gothicartist #gothmusician #gothrocker #guitarist * *

Hey, what’s up? I used to be a much better guitarist — what happened — or rather, what’s different today than from the before time? The Fender 351 red Moto thin celluloid pick. take care keep cool stay in tune JCS jonathan carter schall musician/actor * www.IDENTITYTHEORY.net * IDENTITY THEORY is a gothic project of hypnotic beats, reverb-heavy guitar melodies, symphonic texture, and the haunted voice of Jonathan Carter Schall; inspired by the sounds of Dead Can Dance, Massive Attack, Bjork; and the film scores of Bernard Herrmann, and Jerry Goldsmith * * #goth #gothic #gothambient #gothicambient #darkambient #identitytheory #jonathancarterschall #dupuytrenscontracture #soloartist #gothicartist #gothmusician #gothrocker #ibanezAXS32 #guitarpick * *

So, what is this guitar I play, anyway? The Ibanez AXS 32, customized by Steve Crisp, owner of the Guitar Shop in Santa Cruz, California, and of course, yours truly. Steve removed the faux metal pickup guard and buffed out the original matte pastel red into a breathtaking blood red gloss. I switched out the faux metal tone and volume knobs with black vintage styled knobs, and glued on black rhinestones for the maximum output hash marks. Steve installed the black pickup rings, and created a pickup split for both neck and bridge, engaged by pulling the tone knobs in the upward position. I replaced the original stock humbucker pickups with Saturday Night Specials by Seymour Duncan. take care keep cool stay in tune JCS jonathan carter schall musician/actor * www.IDENTITYTHEORY.net * IDENTITY THEORY is a gothic project of hypnotic beats, reverb-heavy guitar melodies, symphonic texture, and the haunted voice of Jonathan Carter Schall; inspired by the sounds of Dead Can Dance, Massive Attack, Bjork; and the film scores of Bernard Herrmann, and Jerry Goldsmith * #goth #gothic #gothambient #gothicambient #darkambient #identitytheory #jonathancarterschall #dupuytrenscontracture #soloartist #gothicartist #gothmusician #gothrocker #ibanezAXS32 * *

What’s up?! With a little help from my professional camera and lighting friends, I happily upgraded my video studio! I’ve shot several videos already and I’ll share episodes on Tuesdays and Thursday’s here on YouTube, and on Instagram, and perhaps others.
