About Me


Well, I have to say that Metal has always been the foundation and backbone for all music in my repertoire but I do involve myself in various musical types. That interest provides a musical conduit through which all ideas and interests mold into one musical arsenal.
It's true that what makes any musician unique is determined by how they use personal influences in their music. Keeping that in mind...most of my inspiration often comes from various stimuli such as visual, emotional, or even strange social situations. I also seem to find inspiration at the most undesirable times, when I'm sick or undergoing some typical mood swing or stress...yea, weird I know.
The new material I'm working on is very exhilarating and dense, like a filmmaker or visual artist, I try and use shades of dark and light to evoke mental images. Composing, I focus on using a base line of heavy material and employ layers of ethereal effects and multi-textured tones to add depth and color.
There's alot to come but sometimes it's at a snails pace...so, stay tuned and visit often. I'll start updating the blog here with "News" entries from my web site.
