machine guns, helicopters, warplanes, and bombs, lead you out of strange noise into drum and bassy beat and distorted, melodic rapping

penumbra is actually just me, tyson oakes zamora.
i feel that music speaks an infinite amount of words, so for a more proper introduction, just listen to a song.
Band/artist history
penumbra is an alias name for me and the music i've been recording over the past 9 years.
i've been recording pseudo-conceptual cassette tapes since i was like 11, so i see this as kind of the masterpiece of my amateuristic endeavours.
i've played in one heavy metal band, when i was 15, and knew right away that there was no way i would be able to play conventional r'n'r ever again...since then i've just tried to be as creative, spontaneous and emotional as i could be...UPDATE:the album that i recorded on my grandmothers computer is finished, however there's still no printing(or money) but i can package a few myself and send 'em out at a low cost if you would just contact me and leave a mailing address.....i'd probably even do it for free if you were the right kinda person......also am working on organic-acoustic-dreamscape-lap-hop
project for 04-without grandma(very eager).
Have you performed in front of an audience?
yes i am very familiar with the concept, but why?
got a gig for me or something
Your musical influences
anything thoughtful and imaginative.....radiohead, skinny puppy, sublime, beck, pink floyd, wilco, sigur-ros, sonic youth (murray street is bad ass), tool, king crimson, tom waits...(new band The High Violets from oregon are great)
What equipment do you use?
anything i can get my hands on(currently:an acoustic guitar and an electric guitar, two old keyboards, one which is a trusty 80's childs synth, and various invaluable junk......
Anything else?
2004 is looking hopeful for a full penumbra ensemble, wish us luck

dream labyrinth not as bad as you may say. cool combo of textures. advice --don't take acid in the middle east. a cool foot bath refreshes better.

Thanx for disorienting me with your background.
You rock with a smooveness.
We'll i was out surfing the world of mortal man. I was caught in a vortex of sound waves. Then like the dawn the light cleared the way and I was here.
To be able to feel without limbs, see when there is nothing to view. All with my ears. To say I'm a bit taken back would be true.
I have so long been just an observer of mortals that to be among you once again is painfull. To see the injustice of flesh against flesh hurts my soul.
To find a escape in the penumbra is a welcome release.
many blessings
