Why this name?
still searching...
Do you play live?
i'm a member of 'world groove revival' which is a afro-beat trance drumming group. i contribute didgeridoo, and drumming to the band. we play live in the springfield il area, and are working on our first cd. go to www.myspace.com/worldgrooverevival for more info.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
i was recently signed with darkwinter.com. my most recent release "as the flesh departs..."will be released there in mid-may 2007. stop by darkwinter.com for some free dark ambient downloads.
Band History:
started with a little 4-track, and recorded in the hallway of my home (the only half-way sound-proof area in the shack I used to live in). 'on dark days' was my first ambient album. didn't have much to work with back then, but it has some good moments. 'frozen' started showing what the future has to offer, and was a decent hit on mp3.com years ago. it's still one of my favorites.
Your influences?
brian eno, coph nia, raison d'etre, projekt, cold meat industry, steve roach, robert rich, didgeridoo, dark ambient, tribal, noise, drumming, and david lynch movies.
Equipment used:
absynth & other recording software on a mac.
Anything else...?
i find that environments that are repeated become more comfortable. even uneasy, dark environments. i enjoy repetition because it tends to lead one into comfortable trace-like state of mind.
dark ambient music is an examination of thoughts, ideas, or environments that we refuse to face or explore. darkness is in our life, and we live our lives trying to ignore or hide these dark or unacceptable feelings. my music tries to embrace feelings we would tipically ignore, fear, or refuse to think about.
