Improv Logic

About Me

Me and Dustin started making hip hop way back in the 10th grade, freestyling over the beats that he made with some friends of ours. About two years later I produced some beats and recorded my first album, Improv Logic, using Dustin's music as intros and outros to the tracks. I started doing some shows at this point, and a little more than 2 years after that I had stopped making my own beats and had two more cds out, Sunrise and The Weather, with my writing going over the music that Dustin makes (check out all of his other projects too, it will blow your brain). Some more shows helped us make a small place in the local scene, and we released another cd called Beats Madly On Bars, our latest invention. Our music is not within the norms of hip hop, but this is the best direction to go because these are norms that need to be broken. The focus needs to be less on image and more on content, less aesthetic appeal and more thought provoking writing, there is too much potential in this genre to keep making the same self-hyping shit that has already been done, and we are not the only ones who are taking our music in this direction, just check out some of the other local groups on my friends list. Currently working on writing the fifth album right now, and trying to get through college at PSU. Keep an eye out for new music and more shows. Also check out all the other weird music I have made on my other pages.You can click on those pictures to buy the cd. There is more pleasure to building castles in the air than on the ground.I will play any show for free. For booking information contact me here or email [email protected] slept with faith and found a corpse in my arms on awakening; I drank and danced all night with doubt and found her a virgin in the morning.
