WALTER STICKLE

To E-mail Walter:

 

Walter Stickle is a quintuple threat; he plays guitars, lap steel, both tenor and alto saxes, keyboards, and he sings.

He's like a packet of:
"Instant Pink Floyd Powder"
Just add Walter...

He's spent most of his adult life playing original music in projects ranging from Pop to Industrial, recording and producing local bands, and composing Jazz, Classical and Ambient music for soundtracks.

Despite the diversity of these projects, Walter aproached them all with a focus on the interplay between melody and textural soundscapes which he attributes to years spent listening to Pink Floyd and the playing of Dave Gilmour.

Walter utilizes his experiences, electronics, and even random household objects to help Pink Voyd capture not only the songs, but the textural flavors and moods that make up Pink Floyd.
