Featuring members of Swallows and The Sleeper Pins, Dissonant Creatures is the live realization of my instrumental compositions.  Our sound is a combination of gothic ambience mixed with jazz fusion and rock experimentation.  Our current studio album, Dissonant Creatures, was released in 2009.  Our live album from our summer tour, Scorpio Rising, has also just been released.

New releases from Aaron Kerr's Dissonant Creatures include:

I think of Swallows as my alchemy group. Jeff’s songs are mystical and passionate. Our sound is a sonic playground, a mix of elements that lends itself to experimentation.

• Jeff Crandall: guitar, vocals, keys 
• Frank Spencer: guitar, mountain dulcimer
• Aaron Kerr: 5-string electric cello

New releases from The Swallows include Songs For Strippers (and other Professions) (2008).  Click here to purchase this album on CDBaby.com

I like to think of The Sleeper Pins as my Zen group. Tyson’s songs are minimalist, well composed, introspective, and thoughtful. The band’s playing is refined, with small bursts of energy throughout.

The Sleeper Pins are:

• Tyson Allison: guitar, vocals
• Justin Deleon: drums
• Steve Nord: guitar, bass, keys
• Aaron Kerr: cello
