**Working on a purely symphonic piece at the moment, which will be the title track to my ep. Also learning Ableton.
An actual album is in the works now... "Awakening" will focus on a cleaner, less industrial-based sound with themes of personal strength and inner clarity.

xen. is the culmination of all of the influences visual and audio artists have had on my life. There is no set "goal" to the style or progression of the music, only an aspiration to express what is inside.
I create visual pieces of art as a photographer, graphic artist, and drawing artist which are standalone pieces as well as complements to the musical pieces I create. I strive to bring forth all thoughts, emotions, and philosophies I hold within to my art in an attempt to bring peace to my mind, and perhaps some understanding to my own life.

Why this name?
It is me, and it is a state of mind.
Do you play live?
Plans for playing live in the future are imminent.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It is a portal through which people can share and express as a community, to learn from one another and become interested in musical artists and styles they would not normally have found in a record store.
For large-name bands who barely see a cent of whatever records they sell, it is insignificant.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
If by major in the grand scheme of things you mean Roadrunner, then no. If by major according to niche industry you mean labels such as ant-zen or hymen, then yes.

Your influences?
My influences may have no bearing on the actual music produced by me. However, they are still important to the overall idea of my music as its progression has been shaped by other artists.
