About Me

Introducing The Atheist... or Russ, as my friends like to call me. I AM NOT a Band. I WILL NOT spam you constantly with large poster comments of my upcoming tours, nor will I bug you to death until you vote for me on battleofthebands.com. Instead, I am just one man who adores making electronica music and would very much appreciate if you took the time out to listen and comment on what I create. Even if it's bad, I don't care, feedback is feedback and very much appreciated in ALL it forms.P.S - If you add me as a friend then it's probably worth sending me a message first, i'll probably be more inclined to listen to your stuff and comment that way, I'm slow at responding, so random adds are accepted, but take so much time, I'd rather you only add me if you like/have something to say about my music, if you just want 10 million fans then look elsewhere!I started making music two years ago when I got a copy of Fruityloops 5 and from then on was hooked on electronica. My music combines catchy melodies with interesting rhythms and sci-fi inspired aura's. I'm torn between creating lush soundscapes and dance worthy anthems, but in this day and age I see no reason why the two can't co-exist in perfect harmony? I'm inspired by most music, especially dance, electronica and classical but avoid like the plague sounding too "pop" or "club ready" choosing instead to explore a more experimental road less traveled.All music is currently available for FREE download, and it will remain this way for the foreseeable future, the aim is simply to be heard by as many people as possible, so don't be shy, listen and let me know what you think people!The movie below was made in the second year of uni with Sean (Director), Andy (Cinematography/Editing) and Dean (Producer). It's an abstract piece so is open to many interpretations and I composed the score for the film. Enjoy!Aestheics Of Disappearance

Why Uni Sucks In '07

It's not an exaggeration to compare my university to the infamous Fawlty Towers hotel. The facilities are shoddy, the organisation is minimal and the staff are abso-bloody-useless. Add to this a tech ...

Religion & Music :(

I've been getting a lot of friend requests lately from people who seem to have nothing better to do than try and convince the world there is a god, and it HAS GOT to stop! No, I do not care if he died...
