The eerie sounds from beyond our dimension

About Me

Started back in 1996 using impulse tracker, did that for a couple of years then moved on to buzz, fruity loops, reason and finally protools...Started composing when I lived back east, taking inspirations from the surrounding mountains and nature. Back east we didn't have alot of do, this was before the rise of high-speed internet connections and the only thing to do was rent videos from a small and veeeery mainstream local videorental, drive around, talk and play board/card games, and ofcourse write music.Two years back a harddrive which I had back up all of my old tracker songs crashed, causing me to lose over 400 songs. And then, last month my apartment got burglarized, my laptop and hardddrives stolen, causing me to lose the vast majority of all my work. So now i'm feverishly going through all of my old cd burns and going through painstaking efforts of getting any of it back...It really sucks losing all of your work because it's such a nice profiling of the way i've felt and expressed myself throughout the years *sigh*.
