Basically from "Gothic" and "Cello", since no one snagged it. I've wanted to play electric cello for the longest time, so I am finally doing it and having a blast!

GothiCello is primarily a home-studio project, although I've been known to haunt local art & music free-for-alls.

Access to great music any time anywhere by anyone. No longer must you be a superstar for your unique music to be heard.

I like total control over my artistic expression. I can still produce my own CDs and sell them on a label like Projekt.

It started out as just dinkin around placing snippets on the ZeD site. Then I found MySpace and started getting more serious, producing a full-length song. So many song ideas, so little time.

Basically most bands on the Projekt and early 4ad labels. Dead Can Dance, Lycia, Fields of the Nephilim, The Cult, Cruxshadows, Arcana, Apocalyptica, Jill Tracy, Jami Sieber, Marston Smith, Johnny Cash, Unto Ashes, Rajna, Legion Within, Rob Zombie, Midnight Syndicate. I am inspired by graveyards, their smell, the wonderful grave angels, the untold stories from really old grave markers, and mausoleums to drool over. I am inspired by the depth of emotions that I can express from my personal experience. Other wonderful mutli-talented artists inpire me to go beyond and really stretch myself.

Colma, CA. The city of the dead!

A GNX3 guitar effects board to record 5 string e-cello, guitar, vocals, Roland Handsonic, and voice. Guitar Tracks Pro to mix down. I have been dinkin around with Propellerhead's Reason too.

Sounds Like: Contemplative, expressive, and eclectic, the sound can remind one of soulful New Orleans dark-jazz and blues, bombastic classical musings, or peacefully hypnotic grooves to meditate by.
