Howdy. Haven't been on here in awhile with any new stuff. I'm currently re-recording a lot of the material to be used along a click-track for when the songs are ready to have real drums recorded on them by Matt Benoit, who's a phenomenally talented friend of mine. I cannot wait to hear that result. The drums will be recorded around September, and the full album, which will include updated song, should be done by the end of the year. No empty words, it's being done.
Also, I'm doing a little experiment where I gave myself a 3 hour limit to write/record/mix a single song. No concepts, no real molding of ideas, just sound to paper (if it were a computer). I'm doing these as often as I can. Hopefully I can create a little album out of them, throw some vox on them at a later time. So far I'm having fun. Alrighty, later.

Welcome to the fruits of my labor (and free time). I have not updated the page in a very long time and motivation has been soaring (no pun intended), so new things will happen.
Things have changed since the last time I had this part of the site up. I basically decided I'm not trying to change the world (that's a very bad idea), instead I'm just trying to make stuff that people can enjoy through a variety of channels.
I will also be re-recording a lot of the music on this site due to acquiring a ton of new stuff and just getting better at what I love doing.
Also, I love Meshuggah, Opeth, and Porcupine Tree, and so should you.

Why this name?
It was chosen for me.
By ninjas.
They said they'd kill me.

Do you play live?
If I had a drummer, 4-5 guitarists, a keyboardist, a bassist. Sure. Maybe then.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Well, given that TOWER Records has just shut it's doors, I think the "internets" are doing a pretty damn good job of digitizing the artform. I don't really know how I feel about that. I enjoy the way an album feels in your hands. It's probably the last "analogue" way of us to really experience the music. Most of us nowadays go home after we buy the cd, rip it to our iPods, and we're set. Artwork and the physical album have lost their point, as much as I hate to admit it. Pretty soon we will be listening to music through some weird form of mindwave frequency. Trust me. It's gonna get f***ing weird.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Depends on how much they like 15 minute singles.
Favorite spot?
The top of the WW2 monument in Bratislava.
