About Me

Phaexor is really a journey, an excursion, an experience all tied up in a nice little chaotic package. Phaexor (aka Doug Johnson) became tired and frustrated with the "so called" and manipulated pop music scene. The radio spurted out song after song of the same old washed up meaningless sounds over and over again. Only to bring him to the depths of frustration and loss of hope in the musical arts. Finally out of desperation he went on a personal journey to seek out unique music styles that had multiple levels of meaning beyond just the lyrics. The kind of music that could touch the soul without the manipulation and money grubbing labels. He found that vast numbers of people generally listened to music as atmospherical and missed out on the artists' intent. "The art of music has lost it's purity," he says with sadness. In attempt to assist in reclaiming that purity he decided to make music that he could enjoy and send to the world as something unique and meaningful, while touching the emotions. So he is currently capturing the inspiration to piece together music that holds it's meaning within the sounds and beats, with only minor lyrics as additional instruments. His music is most likely classified as Experimental Electronica, however, he describes his music as sounds to immerse the senses, and soothe the soul.He only asks that you listen with more then your ears. Feel the music enter your soul. Allow it to touch your emotions. He would appreciate your personal impressions and some constructive feedback. The first 2 songs "Black Charlie Suite" and "Mi Corazon Esta En Amor" are unmastered completed songs. The remaining 3 are older versions of other songs he is working with. Enjoy.
