Joe Renzetti

About Me

He'll fly his astral plane.
He'll take you trips around the bay.
He'll bring you back the same day...

Joe Renzetti is a 14 year veteran of electronic music. Joe was born in Columbus Ohio and currently resides there. His electronic music is largely influenced by dark brooding sounds reminiscent of the Gothic genre. Joe's a self-taught guitarist, keyboardist, bassist, singer, & sound designer He produces all his own music under the name of Ax Nyslie as well as performs all of the music parts himself.
Joe's music has been described as Sweet melancholy wrapped up tightly in overtones of broodingness and served on a silver platter of iron. What..s uncanny about Renzetti is his ability to grasp and drag out emotions, controlling and twisting them to where ever his whims go that particular moment. On "Talking to the Dead", he was able to actually frighten you with his glimpses into the paranormal reaches between here and wherever. On Aniron he taps into everyone..s subconscious notion of being surrounded by people .. yet alone inside."
Joe's music had been featured on CD compilations and has received airplay on Hearts of Space and XM Sattelite Radio.

Im cured again

Saw The Cure last night for the third time. A great show in Cleveland but not that big a turn out as past shows I've been to. I guess that's why they don't come around here often. If it's not about f...
