"The future from now" as he calls it. When performing live, the stage is set up as a living room with his music coming from old stereos and radios and visuals presented on computers and televisions, as he switches from keyboards, upright bass, percussions and woodwinds while reciting his poetry or singing his songs.An eclectic performer and artist, Richard Delvone Ray (aka the Mid-City Finite Square) has been recording and performing for the past 16 years.
