The Fourth Pyramidion
The Fourth Pyramidion's music is very industrial. A mix of samples, unusual instruments, and synths.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I started playing guitar in my mid teens. I was never completely satisfied with the sound and never felt completely right playing the instrument. In '98 I discovered Hard Disk recording and went around with a tape recorder to random places to get samples, then layered them together to make noise.
I have recently picked this process back up with some new knowledge. Somebody introduced me to circuit-bending which is also taking me into another direction.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I'm working to play live. I'm waiting for a few more pieces of equipment to come in that will help me do this, but within the next 2 months I should be ready.
Your musical influences
Tool, NIN, Skinny Puppy, Phil Thornton, A Perfect Circle, Ministry, Cradle of Filth, HIM, and Aphex Twin. There are some movies that influence me. The Evil Dead trilogy. Underworld. Resident Evil. The Exorcist. Usually horror and sci fi movies that can give me a certain feel.
