  • An Ultrasonic Variation On A Theme By Gustav Mahler
    This is my daughter Solaris before she was born. Mahler's fourth Symphony Third Movement is a very special piece of beautiful music that includes a poem which is a child's view of heaven.. I play the main theme on electric guitar while we look at what I consider is heaven.

About Brad

Baltimore City
2018 Successful Artist Award Bio:
Brad Gunson understands the power of persistance and knows that giving up is the surest way to fail! He loves Baltimore. He loves Maryland.

Gunson Roses

Gunson Roses is whatever Brad Gunson wants to do with the guitar, trombone, electronics, the camera, a projector, a computer, his voice, and his friends from telling jokes, to writing songs, to long exploratory improvisation, to rearranging his favorite popular songs, to performing the music of the Super Mario Brothers video games while audience members play the game on stage, to acting, to shooting music videos, to pouring syrup on pancakes. No style restrictions, no audience pandering, no rules about what can and shouldn't be done. Pure fun and indulgence. This is non-commercialism that rarely covers the cost of its own existence, but always inspires and challenges. 

This project has produced several recordings including Gunson Roses (2009), Right Away (2010), Man Vs Band (2012), and Smothered and Covered (2014), Live at Joe Squared (2015), Fast and Loose (2016) and several upcoming albums, videos, and "other". The most recent projects include a short, surrealist, comedic, musical, documentary called "Baltimore By Storm" shot in June of 2016 (currently being edited) and a feature film adaptation of Homer's Odyssey and James Joyce's Ulysses, set in Baltimore (in place of Ithace, Greece) and throughout the United States.

  • Kashmir (live Led Zeppelin Cover)
    A month or so after moving to moving to NYC, I scored a gig at a coffee shop downtown and got this instrumental arrangement of one of the more unique Led Zeppelin songs on camera.

  • Together (from the album Man Vs Band)
    This was the first song recorded for the album Man Vs Band with Tom Harold and Maeve Royce who have become the most regular players since the band came back from NYC. The tune is one of my most sincere as I'm attempting to take what should be a simple folk song, but is presented with a modulation in both meter and key and treated with extra modern rock improvisation. I spent a long time editing the video and discovered an interesting effect of layering with high contrast.

  • Family (from the album Man Vs Band)
    This is a comic song about family that was released the day same sex couples could legally marry in the state of Maryland. Musically it was a chance to use a vocoder, which synthesizes the guitar and the human voice for a sort of robot-like sound. Recorded in Greenwich Village, NYC...

The Recessionals Jazz Band

The Recessionals Jazz Band plays traditional jazz and New York Swing in the style of Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Jack Teagarden, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Sidney Bechet, Louis Prima, Bobby Hackett, and other popular jazz musicians that performed in the first half of the 1900's. The band was born on the streets of New York City where they began and cut their teeth playing hot and sweet jazz for the big apple before moving beyond to audiences around the country. Their album, Go For Broke, showcases the band playing classics jazz standards, gospel hymms, and fresh tunes inspired by the greats.
The band has performed some hip places including The Blue Note in New York City and Boston Swing Central, were pictured in the New York Times playing at a secret Bastille Day party hosted at The Shanghai Mermaid, and have been earning fans playing many of the jazz clubs in downtown Manhattan and around the East Coast. A highlight included a performance at Louis Armstrong's House in Corona, Queens, NYC.

The Beautiful Mess

An exploration of the trombone in the context of jazz and other styles with musicians from New York City and Baltimore and beyond. The band features the trombone with different combinations of players and instruments in a casual improvisatory and compositional setting.

Jazz is messy. Life is messy. Both are beautiful. Why not play country songs on trombone? Why not write your own trombone songs? Why not cover Queen with Afro Cuban rhythms?

This band has released three recordings: The Beautiful Mess Sessions 1, 2, 3

several videos,

and was featured in the documentary "El Parque de los Prospectos" by Chilean director Eduardo Pavez-Goye about drummer Rodrigo Recabarren and the migration of musicians to New York City to play jazz. The band is heard at minute 2:00. Brad speaks and the band is featured at minute 23:30.

  • Pennies From Heaven
    The old jazz standard played at nice burning tempo with silly improvised vocal introduction where an American tourist visits Paris and is invited in to the Moulin Rouge. An attempt to have fun with a tune that could be considered tired, but still offers something to jump off of. My editing and narrative video chops had developed a little bit more here too.

I had played some music with a Saxophone player named Lenny Pickett that writes tunes with these relaxing slow tempos and has a killer high register and vibrato. I borrowed a little bit from him and thought about the kind of down and out feeling that everyone knows and you can really see out in the streets.

Solo Performance

I sometimes perform as a solo performer. Years ago, it began in the common format of acoustic guitar and voice.

In recent years I have been developing an improvised electronic format with electric guitar, analog and digital pedals, voice, and a touch screen tablet/computer. In this format I can cue various synthesizers, digital percussion, samples, synth bass, and more. 

I also produce recordings in which I perform on various instruments. Good examples of this work are found on the 2009 recording "Surround Sounds" and the music videos for "Math" and "Rudy Kuti".

The full album of "Surround Sounds can be found here: https://bradgunson.bandcamp.com/album/surround-sounds


  • Math - Brad Gunson (Video Song) Heavy Metal Arithmetic Tribute
    When I was a child in elementary and middle school, I remember being frustrated trying to learn math in a packed public school classroom from soft spoken older women who would turn the lights off and turn an overhead projector on. As the room would heat up from the fan of the overhead projector and the adolescent tension, I would struggle to concentrate, stay awake, and drift off my own daydreams accompanied by a soundtrack of HEAVY METAL! I play all the instruments, mix, edit, and wrote this one in the style of Math rock. Metric modulations and sophomoric humor.
  • Like Us On Facebook (Solo & Live in Baltimore) - Brad Gunson
    This recent live performance features a song where the bass, percussion, and synthesizer line can be sounded independently and be place anywhere on a beat within a measure of common (4/4) time or within an eight bar phrase. It's also a funny joke about the internet.
  • Live at Saint Rocke (Los Angelos)
    For a few months of 2016, I moved to Los Angelos. My wife had a temporary job offer, so I quit my teaching job in Laurel, but set up another teaching job within the same company at another location. It was around the time of the deadline for the Baker Artists Awards deadline last year. Neither the new job or the Baker Artists Award proved to be a sure a lucrative chance, but I did end up experiencing the west for the first time and found a wealth of inspiration it its beauty. El Nino was inspired by the weather phenomenon which made our drive out west colder and snowier than expected. This was also recorded the day David Bowie died, so hence the tribute.

  • Surround Sound Music Video - Brad Gunson
    Official Music Video for the title track to the 2007 Brad Gunson album. This song was written in 2002 or 2003. I recorded all the instruments at my house in southern Baltimore sometime during the fall of 2006. Sometime during the spring/summer of 2007, Chris Bentley mixed and John Baldwin mastered the sound recording. It was released in August of that year to massive critical and popular acclaim. Fast-forward to June 2010 when I drove I from Nashville to Baltimore and remembered that I wanted to make a video for this song and shot during the trek across route 40 and up route 81. I cut the video over three consecutive sleepless nights for your current enjoyment. Enjoy! Download the song or the album! More information, music, and video at www.bradgunson.com
  • Epic Love/Math - Live at The Ottobar in Baltimore, MD
    This is a live performance excerpt at The Ottobar in Baltimore, MD for show benefiting a local chef and business owner, Mama Saray, who was raising money to buy a food truck. Musically, I'm improvising both the guitar playing and the electronic arrangement, but the most exciting part of the music is the interplay between the touch screen synthesizer and the guitar which almost sound contrapuntal.

Brad Calling Tom

The is a show where Brad calls Tom. 

Tom Harold is my friend. I have known him for over twenty years. He also plays drums with me in several bands including Gunson Roses and The Big Gun Show. 

We created several episodes together and I created a few where I leave him voicemail. 

The whole project has been a great experiment learning technical and creative aspects of media and friendship. 

You watch the show on You-Tube.

Photography

I have owned a cheap still camera and a cheap video camera, usually that someone past down to me, since I was a child. It was only a hobby and an aid to promotion and musical endeavors until this year when it changed. The change had a lot to do with leaving home, seeing the south and the west, and the increased study of cinema, photography, and videography.   

Over the past year I took countless thousands of still photos. I have been amassing audio and video for years, but this is the first time in my life where I wanted to dig deeper into the technical aspects of composition, light, aperture, focal length, ISO, shutter speed, etc. 

Here are some of my favorites from the past six months. I don't edit the pictures. I tried to pick some that had some emotional impact.

View From The Gig

This is a mock, debatably comedic twitter account and web series that gives "insight, advice, and selfies from the music industry".

I re-tweeted whenever someone takes a picture of their instrument sitting on a stage or of their computer when "working in the studio" or whenever someone posts "my office for the day". 

The web series has four episodes which are completely shot and edited on an iphone.

Not exactly high art. I realized after a few weeks of doing it, that it was only an indication of my own insecurity as opposed to actually being funny. Also, very few people besides bitter musicians think making jokes about musicians is funny.

Baltimore By Storm

Baltimore is a short, comedic, musical absurdist documentary about the city and its weird community of creatives. It is currently sitting on my 2009 MacBook Pro waiting for me to upgrade to a computer that can handle long, large, and intricately cut high definition video files. The film features live concert footage from Joe Squared where I have been a regular performer for over ten years, stand up comedy, interviews, and street and wildlife photography. Some of the footage I shot myself, but a lot was also shot by photographer Keston DeCoteau.
