This is the result of me being bored, and just wanting to write music.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Not much history here... just alot of late night writing/recording/mixing/years of lost sleep.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Well, I actually play drums for a Prog Rock band. However I do NOT have a band that plays any of the material I post here.
Your musical influences
JEEZ, this could take a while. I guess I will get right to the point. DEVIN TOWNSEND is a HUGH influence, METAL METAL METAL!!!! along with alot of progressive bands like Cynic, Meshuggah, Fear Factory, Death (r.i.p. Chuck!!!), Sikth, Sybreed, also HYPOCRISY!, and alot of "not-as-metal" bands like rush, ELP, Thin Lizzy, the almighty BLACK SABBATH, Alice Cooper, JEFF BECK!!!, ZAPPA, Satch, VAI. I also really dig alot of 70's fusion like Tony Williams, Billy Cobham, John Mclaughlin, Allan Holdsworth, BOB JAMES, and even Kool n the gang. I like very little country... however Johnny Cash, Willie... all the rebels, i totally dig, but do NOT really have an influence in my writing.
