The Cubricon Manifesto is the name I use for any non-collaborative electronic music that I produce. I've been playing piano for 10 years and guitar for 7. I love all kinds of music but there I have a special love for the electronic genres of House, Trance and Break Beats.
I like my music to have a melody as much as possible but I also like experimenting with different drum beats. I'll be updating this page over time so you'll get to see different aspects of my style as it matures.
In 1997, I bought my first and only hardware synthesizer, a Korg X-2. I learned to make beats and record 'musical sketches' with it but I kept most of that music on diskettes which have been lost.
Recently, I bought some equipment and software to make music on my PowerMac. I use Reason and Live. I love this stuff.
If I ever play live, it's usually a piano or my guitar. I sing too, but I'm not Josh Groban.

I am a Christian. The ultimate purpose of my music is to bring Glory to God in an authentic way. That means that I will never rip off secular songs and try to make 'Christianized' versions of them. God is creative and original therefore I must also be creative and make the best music I possibly can without being a 'biter'. I'm not trying to preach to you, I'm just telling you a little bit about what I believe.
