About Me

This is less a music project than an attic crawlspace, cluttered with castoffs that have no other home. I am occupied with various musical and writing projects, and this page serves as an archive of miscellania as well as a record of those various other projects. There is not necessarily an actual music project known as Self-loathing for Dummies, but on the other hand, there might be.

I am the vocalist for the electronic menace and whimsy of kittycat lollipop. I am a musical and vocal partner (and primary lyricist) in the cultural dialogue of Black Poufta Fish. I have been seen in the company of members of The Psychic Dictators.

I have written for various projects for roleplaying games and have had a couple of short stories published.

That Which Lingers Still

This song's lyrics were originally written years ago with kittycat lollipop in mind, but, given their intensely personal nature, it makes sense that I would provide the music as well. So her...
