Band/artist history
started with a little 4-track, and recorded in the hallway of my home (the only half-way sound-proof area in the shack I used to live in). 'on dark days' was my first ambient album. didn't have much to work with back then, but it has some good moments. 'frozen' started showing what the future has to offer, and was a decent hit on mp3.com years ago. it's still one of my favorites. as time progressed, i've gotten some more equipment to use which has increased the quality & variation of my music.
Your musical influences
brian eno, coph nia, raison d'etre, projekt, cold meat industry, steve roach, robert rich, didgeridoo, dark ambient, tribal, noise, drumming, and david lynch movies.
What equipment do you use?
anything that makes noise.
Anything else?
i find that environments that are repeated become more comfortable. even uneasy, dark environments. i enjoy repetition because it tends to lead one into comfortable trance-like state of mind.
for me, dark ambient music is an examination of thoughts, ideas, or environments that we refuse to face or explore. darkness is in our life, and we live our lives trying to ignore or hide these dark or unacceptable feelings. my music tries to embrace feelings we would tipically ignore, fear, or refuse to think about.
