About Me


beginning in July 2005, ending ??
Scissor Lock is overenthusiastic teenager Marcus Whale playing with various instruments (usually guitar), forming experimental music which uses looping to make somewhat ambient, somewhat post-rock, somewhat drone music.
forthcoming is a 38 minute collaboration with mousetrapreplica (the top song on the player is an 8 minute excerpt from it), a split with jasper tx as part of sound&fury's amazing passeridae split 7 inches series, a cd-r of looped vocal music called "thawing voices" on sound and fury, and some other stuff.
