I have been playing guitar since I was 13. Theokratique (Josh) actually inspired me long before he dawned the name. I couldn't just allow him to venture out and rock the house without me. I found guitar to be a blessed tool for surviving the first half of highschool. It provided an outlet for my feelings, I could write songs,
and turn my woes into art. I have never really played with other people, as I would like to. Hopefully that oppurtunity will arise and without too many creative clashes. I'm pretty picky with the way my stuff sounds, though for some reason most of my stuff never comes out the way I really planned it.Band/artist history
Aug 98- Buy guitar and amp, buy a chord book, learn to play
Sep 98- Make my first tape with an old Talkboy...it sucks
Dec 99- Two mics allow for usage of two track recorder. Yippy
July 01- Make my first CD with friends four-tracker. Use keyboards for drums and synths, strings, ect.
01-03 - Record some stuff with Josh using drum machine for rhythm.
June 04- Record second CD "The West", sounds much better than first. Though still a long shot from professional.
Also made acoustic CD with Josh consisting of old songs we wrote years ago.
Aug-Oct 04- Purchased a used Tascam 488 MKII (8-tracks, 7 of which work) and made a very experimental tape... I may put some of that stuff up soon.Have you performed in front of an audience?I've rarely played live, and when I did it was a few time in highschool. Those few times were when I was in a little band-thing called the Willy
Bubba Gang. We wrote maybe three songs and one was a huge hit at school. It was a bluegrass song called "Oh my House". We based it off an old
American poem about a ladie's house burning down. Since then though, I don't preform. I would like to though.
Your musical influences
At two years old my favorite song was "The Walk of Life" by Dier Streights. As I grew a little
older, maybe 6 or 7, my dad would play Pink Floyd in the car when we'd go on trips. Weird Al played a huge roll in my pre-teen years, which meant
I was given a wide variety of genres. I soon grew out of that and got into a lot of punk and hard rock like Dogwood, Hangnail, Stavesacre, and
so on, and that evolved into some of the indie stuff like Twothirtyeight, Pedro the Lion, and some heartwrenching self-pity indy bands who's
names I shall not mention for personal reasons. The end of my senior year I discovered Radiohead "Kid A", that album saved my music-life. I had never heard anything so amazing as that album. The perfect fusion between electronic paranoia and rock, that could only be created by a post-punk enlightenment. I realized that this was the stuff I had been looking for all along. I started listening to more Pink Floyd, and then Muse, and Death Cab for Cutie, Air, Nada Surf, and Chris Staples...the list grows.What equipment do you use?
I use a Fender Strat, a Yamaha acoustic (1976), a Sigma acoustic, a Korg AX1G effects pedal. An early 90's Yamaha keyboard, which I strictly play running through my AX1G. I record with a Taskam 488 MKII.Anything else?
While on a walk something caught my eye... and then ran off with it.
