About Me

Hi, I'm Patrick Simonds.
This is my music project.
I do everything on it, which includes filling out the MySpace page (like the artwork?). I started to write one of those "about the band" blurbs, but I felt like a total moron writing about myself in the third person. My stuff is pretty eclectic. It's electronic. It's organic. No two tracks are the same.
I usually tend to combine elements from music that I like, so for whatever reason, my stuff ends up coming out sounding like if you made industrial have sex with trip-hop, and then took the resulting offspring and ran it through a computer like a million times, and then added in my crappy voice on top. Or something. Hell, if you have a better description, send it to me!
And if you got a friend request from me and you're like "Who the hell is this guy?!?" don't get all offended. I DO NOT use those MySpace robot adder things, I do it all by hand and I genuinely do at least try to make sure you seem like somebody that would like my stuff.
If you like my stuff, please send me an e-mail and tell me so. Your support and kind words mean the world to me.

Shutting Down

I am thinking about deleting my MySpace profiles. This is an extension of a larger process of becoming completely anti-social. I think it is better to be alone and empty than to feel like I want to mu...

Some Songs Finished, More Need Work...

Blah, so in the past week I have finished Cast No Shadow and Obliterate. Both tracks got some minor mix tweaks and in the case of Cast No Shadow, I re-did the ending so that it doesn't crap out so muc...

Lamely "Profound" Random Bloggyness

Convince Me That Life Isn’t Pointless

Like the title says, I feel like life is totally pointless. All I do is go to work, then come home and watch old TV shows I don't really care about. I'm totally broke, I have literally $4 in checking ...
