IMPROVISED COMPOSITION IN REAL TIME!!!!!!

About Me

ARYUSERIUS? can best be described as an "imrovisational collective". The project began in 1997 in a place called "Outer Space". It was there that YL and Loton first met Paul DalPorto. Paul was a multi-instumentalist who turned us on to several musical avenues we had merely touched on intuitively to that point. He took us from Death and Cynic to Brand-X and Allan Holdsworth. Soon the confines and dangers of Outer Space became too volatile for the collective to remain..thus the introduction of Inner Space.Inner Space allowed more freedom and varied musicians to join in with the ARYUSERIUS? clan. Soon participants such as The Brooks, Wild Bill, and Seabrien began to push the music to new heights. Skills were "refined"...Sounds were tweaked...and organic music began to take shape.To this day ARYUSERIUS? continues to find new members and hone our sounds. There are actually at least three seperate incarnations of our music: YL's solo ARYUSERIUS (true composed fusion tunes with highly volatile improvisational solos), ARYUSERIUS the group improvisation project in which members are invited for complete creation of new music in real time, and ARYUSERIUS's little brother AADI (a collaboration of blues/fusion originals created to appeal to upwards of nine people).Please continue to follow and support this effort to expand the minds and ears of musicians and listeners through musical experimentation in our own Inner Space.-YL retro layout @ HOT FreeLayouts.com
