Since turning into a full-on geek i've carried the handle "wEvil" just about everywhere i've gone. Actually an anagram of my name, an expanded version grew into NewEvil.

The objective meaning of NewEvil is a fight against the root cause of many of our problems in these mediocre times - apathy.

Currently I've managed to sneak in some tracks at a few parties to the sound of collective dropping jaws.

It's hilighted a certain reticence in the music industry to change and adapt to new conditions as evidenced by the continual spate of lawsuits spewing out of the RIAA.

It is endemic of a larger problem within humans collectively that we will cling to whatever is safe rather than ride the wave of change... and as i'm sure will be evidenced - clinging to the old will only result in a more painful transition.

If a major label can demonstrate the will to alter their business model to remain competitive by innovation rather than restriction and also demonstrate the basic professional competence required in such a competitive industry I see no reason why I shouldn't.

NewEvil is currently a personal project run on the side from my "day job" as a 3D artist.

It's been active in its' current incarnation since August 2003 and has already resulted in some 30 tracks.

VNV Nation, Apoptygma Berserk, Velvet Acid Christ, Assemblage 23, Covenant, Depeche Mode, Juno Reactor, KMFDM, Filter, Bruderschaft, Orbital, Oakenfold, Tiesto, Robert Miles, Adiemus, Enya, Chicane, Kraftwerk, Prodigy, God Module, Richard Marx, Marilyn Manson, The Verve

I haven't found this one yet ;)

Coming from a graphics background I have an extremely visual imagination - not to mention I don't have to pay anyone for my visual designs!
