Swords Into Plowshares
Well, not exactly. And it’s not new to find a musician who’s anti-violence. But the musician Kevin Sites found is certainly unique: a classically trained guy who turns weapons of death into music instruments.
The numerous projects he has underway are certainly music for the soul. Clicking on the samples, I was a little disappointed that the guitar licks weren’t prominently displayed, but that quickly gave way to the grace of his compositions. The world needs more Cesar Lopez and less cowbell*.

Harry Partch made musical instruments out of armaments. He called one of his instruments the Spoils of War and wrote music for it.
