penumbra
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.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
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 live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
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
