Enlightened Fool
The Court Jesters of medival days were known as "Enlightened Fools".
Historically, the court jester was a state-sponsored mischief maker who was not only permitted, but hired to speak his mind--often in jokes, riddles or songs-- when others were forbidden in the presence of power. The jester was the only acceptable form of deviation in the King’s courts, expected to poke fun at all the cultural taboos, to puncture the ruler's ego and publicly break rules, thereby allowing an outlet for otherwise “forbidden” insights, behaviors and feelings. The Enlightened Fool is assigned the number zero - indicating that he is not yet defined - he is the symbol of the potential of all men. He is a symbol of the beginning of the journey, as well as a symbol of the traveler on the journey. However, the Fool is also the symbol of the redeemed initiate, who has returned to society to save others.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Making music since 2000. In the beggining, I focused on the enjoyment of creating. I moved onto focusing on combining sounds to create a whole new sound. Now I have been focusing on using effects and structures. During all of this, my primary concern of music is the feelings it can produce inside the listener.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I would play live, and probably will. Where? Anywhere.
Your musical influences
My primary musical influences are the emotions other artists create, such as Jonathan Davis of the early years of KoRn, with the emotion of his singing, NIN with the harmonies and blending of musical notes, and Aphex Twin for creating things out of the ordinary in beautiful ways.
