About Me

With an influence of a million florescent red snappers. The intentions to wipe out selfishness, egotism and in a melloncholy search for the fountain of truth within has been the method to the madness for this born South American Octopus.Raised in the not so dirty South Miami, Fl. where the climate was bareable for his kind. The appreciation of the way things sound under-water, in a car, plane, bathroom, space between walls, when walking through a crowd of micro-members, while waiting in line at the grocery store and yes the sound of a toy treasure-chest in an aquiarium full of sea-horses and cat-fish, meant that this Octopus was ready to use his audible abilities to aquire thought for food,rent,gas,electric-bills,etc...The first time the Octopus felt connections between specific vibrations through the current passing...he was listening to the "I care because you do" record from Aphex Twin.(with those special underwater headphones specifically for octopi)Within time this Octopus kept listening and decided to pick-up the guitar, then the Bass guitar, then the drums/Mpc, then the sampler, then the key-boards/organ, then the vocals, then figured that it can all be playing at once. Along his journey he came across other creatures that soothed his fancy and made some ink stains here and there...but nothing permanent.Story has it that this Octopus still lurks around town with his sampler and other toys...documenting the natives and streaming his version of it all into a Wav. File.
