Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
LiQuid Metamorphosis (formerly Leedsquietman/LQM) has been in existence as a musical project since the spring of 2006. The debut album 'Searching For Esperanto' was released in March 2008. The video for the track 'Intervention' was published in January 2008, the debut video for LiQuid Metamorphosis as seen here at Soundclick.
