Theophagus

About Me

From 1993 to 2003, I recorded hundreds of songs in my bedroom* onto cheap cassettes. These recordings have been known collectively from the beginning as THEOPHAGUS.

I plan to spend 2008 mixing these down and giving them to you.

at least one MP3 a day this year at
theophagus.livejournal.com

* many different bedrooms, actually.

The Oxygen Board

THE OXYGEN BOARD(4-track recording; recorded in Orangevale, 1994)Some good ol' lo-fi industrial noise to relax those jangled nerves.  The title comes from a story in Judge Dredd number one.
