When I was a senior in high school, I had a creative writing class. (Yay!) One of the assignments was to write a parable. (>.<) Mine was about a character called The Somber Mute. After I turned it in, my teacher loved it so much I got a nice shiny 'A'. ;D Later, when he randomly decided to give us all nicknames, my teacher thought it would be cute to call me The Mute since I resembled the character in my story so much. I loved that class enough to take that nickname and use it as my handle. So here's to you, Mr. Haug!

I listen to a lot of Gothic/Industrial/EBM stuff and a lot of other alternative bands. And every once in awhile, something completely random. Some examples being:

Stabbing Westward (& The Dreaming), The Last Dance, Assemblage 23, Zeraphine, De/Vision, Mesh, Deine Lakaien (Veljanov), 30 Seconds to Mars, Akino Arai, Wolfsheim, A Perfect Circle, Lacuna Coil, Icon of Coil, Decoded Feedback, Neuroticfish, Namnambulu, Covenant, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Silence, Theatre of Tragedy, Ra, Collide, In Strict Confidence, Apoptygma Berzerk, Pop Will Eat Itself, Pulse Ultra, Dreadful Shadows, Stereomud, Lo-Pro, Front Line Assembly, Breaking Benjamin, Helium Vola, Qntal, Switchblade Symphony, Evil's Toy (T.O.Y.), Gravity Kills, Informatik (Din Fiv), Evanescence (Yeah I know what you're thinking), Clan of Xymox, Cesium 137, Orgy, Disturbed, The Cure, Emilie Simon, Crüxshadows, System of a Down, AND a bunch of others I just don't feel like listing.

I use t3h Fruity Loops!! And um... Orion Studio Platinum... and... my keyboard... and yeah.
