About Me

TheBlueDiamond's solo music project is a studio only affair, made only with various synthesizers, samplers, and music recording hardware/software. Various styles of progressive rock, electronica, and orchestral program music are utilized to make epic concept albums. TheBlueDiamond uses the Wagnerian "leitmotif" technique to unify musical works.

The current work-in-progress is a four-part programmatic suite inspired by Joseph Campbell's book, The Hero with a Thousand Faces. A demo version of Part I entitled "The Hero" has been uploaded to thebluediamond's myspace page.

TheBlueDiamond is also a member of the alt/prog metal band Siv, and is the former drummer for the electronic-rock band, Polymorphous Perverse. He also occasionally plays drums for The Dark Clan and The Virgo Vertigo.
