I found this remix sitting on my hard drive. I haven't touched this one for years, so it was probably time to release it.
The Tempest Rages The Tempest Rages
A random goa trance song that I wrote to improve my creativity. I just let it all out. This is how I work.
Stalking You on Myspace Stalking You on Myspace
An invitation to the christmas banquet at my school.
Reaching the Point of Insanity Reaching the Point of Insanity
A piece inspired by the movie "Memento." Sort of a combination between IDM, acid, and symphonic.

This wicked EBM/futurepop/chemical beat track is so awesome that 7 out of 8 ninjas say it "kicks butt."

Introspective Journeys is a one man electronica project that generally goes the way of symphonic/progressive. I have been into writing old school electronica lately, as well as my own blend of orchestral and techno. Like alternate time signatures like 7/8, 12/8, 6/8, or 10/8? I tend to use plenty of those in my music.
You might want to check out my industrial/rap sideproject, Isotope Lab. http://www.soundclick.com/isotopelab
Big thanks to all my fans (yes all three of you!). I'm getting about 12-60 plays per day, and I would just like to express my thanks for your listening to my music.Band/artist history
Started a few years back. Used to sequence for Yahmaha DJX, but now using Buzz (http://buzzmachines.com).Have you performed in front of an audience?Yes, but under the name "Truth and Regret."

Your musical influences
Lately I've been listening to Linkin Park (one of the more innovative bands these days), but I also like Juno Reactor, Galbatron (mp3.com/galbatron), Pink Floyd, and William Orbit to name a few.What equipment do you use?
Whatever I have. I prefer software. Right now I'm using Jeskola Buzz. It works wonders. At first I didn't like the tracker interface, but it is growing on me more and more. In fact, I would reccommend it highly. Some people have a genuine hate of that program, but I (and my 150 synths, and my 300 effects) have the last laugh. I am using a Terratec 24/96 card for ASIO, and it is working wonders. I'm working on recording vocals right now. Buzz also works great for an FX processor, in conjunction with my Johnson uk-120 ukulele (no, really!). I'm running a Yamaha DJX as well as a Yamaha CS2x. I hope to own a modular someday.Anything else?

Finally a decent artist in soundclick. I really enjoyed Instinct. Defintally really cool stuff there. Im for sure looking forward for some of your new tunes.
Found you on INDY.TV...nice pieces
some very cool stuff
keep you head stoned
i've listened to a few of your tracks. wow, you've how many free mp3s there? I do industrial with buzz, too, kind of more aggressive pieces but I liked your style. The End is good, but sounds like it could use some mastering. Chromeandsteellandscape rocks, too...
Cheers,
