About Me

The Midwest taught me to have a heart, the South taught me intolerance and fear, the East Coast taught me to watch my back.

Fighting to stay inspired working in Boca Raton, FL, my only hope lies in my beautiful girl's love and the warm Atlantic's salty breeze. I escaped Dallas, TX in 2005 and while the absence of thick southern-baptist conservatism is welcomed, the reluctance of my favorite bands touring anywhere close to Florida is definitely not. :(

I love all sorts or music; folk to hiphop, as long as it sounds original. Sometimes when mental insurgent chatter rises and my terror alert level hits red, I make my own! It's submitted to Clear Channel focus groups under,"lo-fi '92 breakbeat shrapnel over mellow, early morning games of River City Ransom". Here is the latest: Hello Red Sky

The Leaf album dropped a while back. The album made it into URB's December "Best of 2005" issue [3.5/5]. I made tracks on the album under ' Arcade Lucid ' and '32nd Kalpa'. 32nd Kalpa is Steve Wick and I. Hopefully we'll get to let loose on some solo albums in the near future.
Also did a track on Texas HipHop Massacre, "Invincible", with Olivia Mojica and "mah 'ain 'mon" IZK (Blunt Force). I'm always up for collaborating on projects so if you like what you hear, hit me up! redcultur.com/arcadelucid
This is what I do at work ; design and render home theater interiors for people with too much money on their hands. I use 3ds max & Mental Ray.
