Listen. Dr. Vrein is the moniker I have decided to bestow upon myself for my songwriting persona. Dr. Vrein symbolizes an idea [or rather, a way of life] that has devoured me, chewed me over and over to then be digested, where I now lie motionless, awaiting a trial that may never come.
Dr. Vrein is a lusus naturae so selfish that it is unbeknownst of mental paradigms and social restrictions. It's only purpose is to feed and absorb the leisure of humankind, and in return, to showcase the simple art of "dying while singing."
Dr. Vrein is the always evolving gastric fluid which surrounds the human host...and it is very happy to be that way, even as it knows that there is a possibility that the host will never dissolve. Dr. Vrein is what it is and nothing else.
...this is a prolonged insult, a gob of spit in the face of Art, a kick in the pants to God, Man, Destiny, Time, Love, Beauty … what you will. I am going to sing for you, a little off key perhaps, but I will sing. I will sing while you croak, I will dance over your dirty corpse…
~Henry Miller
Prior to 2007 I had never written a song (or even a melody) nor had I thought of myself capable of doing so. But in 2007 I started messing with music in computers, tinkering with software ever so slowly as a pass time; producing sounds, landscapes and melodies. Now 19 years old, It's been 2 years and I still know I've only scratched the surface of my potential. To this point I have never been satisfied enough with what I have done to pat myself in the back. I know there's still a huge mountain to climb to produce the music that lies in my head, but I'm OK with that.
