This is my one-man band. I program the drums with Superior Drummer 2.0 (many of them are Drumkit From Hell Superior or the original DFH.) Everything else is also written, played, and recorded by me. Guitars and bass are done through a Podxt directly into the computer. Most of the music is progressive/experimental/anything goes metal.
Why this name?
Just an online alias.
Do you play live?
I've got an actual band called Nutricula now, and Shattered Circles from this site has been played live in that band. Not quite the same version though. A lot of the other stuff is a little too complex or not quite the right style to execute in the band.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Good for people like me, because its hard to have people hear your music without any publicity. So websites like this can help a little.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Depends on the conditions. But probably.
Band History:
I found out I really liked music when I was a kid, learned to play guitar and some other instruments, and started recording. Here we are...

Anything else...?
If some of these songs seem too 'out there' or too random, listen a couple times before you give up. This kind of music usually gets a lot better once you have time to process it a little.
