Rebecca Scammon,Ray Suhy: Chaotic Negation - guitar mayhem headed your way!

Rebecca Scammon,Ray Suhy

Rebecca Scammon: Rebecca began playing guitar at 10 years old. When she was 14 her teacher lent her his copy of Steve Vai’s Passion and Warfare. Her mind exploded and she never looked back, determined to be able to play with the same kind of fluidity and technicality. Over time she kept seeking out heavier and heavier music, drawn by its intensity and energy. At seventeen, she attended Berklee College of Music where she studied with Joe Stump, Don Lappin, and many others. After spending a semester abroad in Athens Greece studying at the Philippos Nakas Conservatory, Rebecca returned to Maine and began studying online with Christian Muenzner (Obscura, Spawn of Possesssion, ex-Necrophagist). Quickly developing her own style with the help of Muenzner and hours of practice, her Youtube videos got the attention of various guitar blogs and EMG pickups, who Rebecca now endorses. She is currently working on Chaotic Negation’s Debut album due out later in 2013.

Ray Suhy: Ray started teaching himself guitar at the age of 12 when he became obsessed with the lead playing of George Lynch, the riffs of Led Zepplin and Black Sabbath, and the thrash metal stylings of Metallica, Megadeth and Anthrax. At 15 he heard John Coltrane for the first time and immersed himself in harmony and Jazz. After stints at Berklee College of Music and The New School, he focused on his studies with the great pianist and educator Charlie Banacos. The hours of hard work that Charlie demanded expanded Ray’s concept of musicianship and the dedication and perseverance that it requires.
While continuing to pursue jazz, Ray also remained active in the metal/rock scene with his band Colepitz (Wonderdrug Records). Once Colepitz separated, Ray started The Baltic Sea (Ericrock Records), which is a progressive post-rock band. In addition to Chaotic Negation, Ray is also currently playing with East of the Wall (Translation Loss).
