Cloudkicker

Cloudkicker is a post-rock / post-metal[1] musical project project based in Columbus, Ohio[1], created by guitarist Ben Sharp.[1][2] Sharp, a commercial airline pilot[3], doesn't pursue Cloudkicker as a full-time project; he releases his music as "pay what you want" under the Creative Commons license[4] through Bandcamp.

Sharp composes, records and engineers all his music by himself;[2] while he originally intended a studio-only project due to his distaste for touring[5][6], Sharp performed a short tour in 2014 with Intronaut (who acted as his backing band)[7] and Tesseract.[8]
