DRT projekt began to take form back in 2002, basically as a gathering of random recordings from my warm basement apartment while hibernating from the cold upstate new york winters. With just a drum machine, a guitar, a delay pedal, some cheap radio shack mics, and an old computer the projekt was born. Now it's 2009, where will this go? Much like life, the art of creation is much like a marathon rather then a sprint race, so pace yourself and brace yourself for the amazing things to come.
