dark/ambient/noise/experimental semi-socio-political artf***, taking the poison and growing it inside like a deformed infant until it tears free and infects like a simplex virus. Crack open your scabs.
I'm subverting ideas of what music "should" be, and even preconcieved notions of what experimental music "should" be. As with everything I do, I move outside of and between established definitions, thereby undermining them and reinventing language - spoken language, unspoken language, symbolic language, the language of ideas, this reinvention is the language of art and magic, and art is magic, and I'm a godamned artist. What's the point of being an experimental musician if you don't experiment?
Why this name?
RU 486 (or Mifepristone) is a steroid hormone resembling progesterone. Developed in France in 1980 by Dr. Etienne-Emile Baulieu for Roussel-Uclaf, RU 486 is the first antiprogestin, a breakthrough in birth control technology. The name RU 486 comes from Roussel-Uclaf's initials and an arbitary lab serial number. It is also commonly called the abortion pill.
RU 486, in conjunction with a prostaglandin, is 95.5% effective in terminating pregnancy during the first 7 weeks. Up to eight weeks it is more reliable than surgical abortion.

Who'd have me?
Band History:
RU 486 has no history which is not My history, and My history is subjective, My identity fluid, My memory summarily f***ed. I'm sure I've had a life worth reading about, but the details are a little fuzzy.
I had a green dinosaur piano. I loved it. That was twenty-something years ago. Inbetween then and now I did some stuff, I went some places, I met some people. It was all very interesting. I have no idea what happened to my green dinosaur piano. Or most of the people I met.
Anything else...?
I speak only for myself, I cannot speak for who I was yesterday or who I will be tomorrow.
Today I am Hazard Mink the Unsane, King of the World.
