In Virus Tandem

About Me

In Virus Tandem is a solo project that spawned in 1994 with the simple idea that we as humans are much like viruses, destroying our host in a relentless struggle to survive. The music reflects that of an outreaching tentacle that grasps for the minds of those who seek to gain insight within themselves and others who wish to manifest change. IVT is structured upon the basis of mental evolution, in which the mind alone can manipulate it's surroundings through mercurial thought patterns based on interaction with environmental situations at the time of brain stimulation. Music is the supreme catalyst for invoking inspiration of emotion and thought - thus is the perfect vessel in which to bring mental expansion. I hope you enjoy the interaction with my music. Thank you for your eyes...
