Band/artist history
my music comes from the gut, emotion... I believe in honesty, my words are obscure for a reason, my reason is yet to be clear. I like to experiment with sound, noise, tone, I believe music should be as challenging and brutal as it needs to be, this is not a hobby for me, it is what I do, music is my life blood.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I have played many gigs over the years, with Many different bands, however Decaying Orbit has never played a show & is strictly a studio project. What can I say? I'm a weirdo introvert that isolates a lot, which is when I create my tunage.
