About Me

The Darklord enjoys musique. Conjuring it, being transformed by it, being swept away by it, the mystique it contains, honing and shaping it with sorcery. He plays lots of different instruments and lots of different kinds of musique. As long as it contains powerful magik and has passion he digs it. He doesn't think the kind of tune one is transfixed by or digs defines what kind of person you are. He doesn't think the kind of shirt you wear defines who you are either. The physical surface doesn't carry much definition for a sorcerer. He thinks that being pigeon-holed by one kind of musique or lifestyle is boring and limiting since theres just so many shades of grey. He's currently playing music that sounds nothing like music he was playing one year ago. One year ago he was playing music that sounds nothing like the music he played two years ago. But what is a year, month, day, or hour anyway once they are gone its all the same. Just a word for a division of time. You could call him a chameleon. One year from now who knows what he'll dig. he might even not be alive. Maybe you won't either. Hopefully so because life is good. Living is good. As long as you're actually alive while you live. If you are think it would be fun to make some musiquemagik with The Darklord send him a message. Quit trying so hard to find truth cuz its right in front of your face the whole time. Let it in you.
