About Me

I am, to do that old label myself thing, a mixed-media artist and musician.I have a experimental rock/music in general show on 91.3 KXCI fm (kxci.org) called TeMpEst BrOoG RaDiO!!!Sunday night/Monday morn. I love doing that show! It is going on 13 years now, that THE BROOG has been on the air!http://www.myspace.com/tempestbroogradioI am finishing work on the rock musical flick I have created called "Twitch: A Rock Opera from the Earth."Tempest Broog ProductionsMany amazing and talented musicians and artists have joined with me in regard to that creation, and I will not let them down. I can honestly say that 2008 is the year for the film's release! I hope to see it performed live again one day soon.I am a songwriter, more a writer incognito actually.I play bass, guitar, keyboards, and percussion. I am still learning and growing at all the above, and I have a long way to go. For some reason Pan has blessed me with playing with some really great musicians within some remarkable times that have taught me so much. I was the percussionist for the band Black Sun Ensemble for a few years, which is now on hiatus. We have released a new album as of June 2008! It is called "Across the Seas of Id: The Way to Eden". Please go to my friends list and check the music out, we are proud of it!I am on here to stay in touch with old friends and perhaps make some new ones!COPYRIGHT WARNING - Copyright © 2006-2007 John Paul Marchand – All Rights Reserved All images are protected under International and United States copyright Laws, any unauthorized commercial or personal reproduction or use of any image contained in this Web site is forbidden and subject to penalty under these laws.
