Born in 1953, he took up the guitar at age 10, began experimenting with tape loops and FX (and recording his own music) in his 20s, commenced performing publicly in his 30s, and put out his first official mass-produced CD in his 40s. In his mid 50s, he is still about as far from being any sort of guitar-slinging "rock-god" as anyone could possibly be. But he has garnered critical acclaim, developed a unique instrumental voice and a frightening command of his musical palette — flying entirely by the seat of his pants and entirely below the cultural radar. Ted's 2001 CD "Flux Aeterna" is available at iTunes and CD Baby, and his 2008 duet CD collaboration with guitarist Krispen Hartung "Mojo at the Dojo" is available at CD Baby.
