I'm Delano (Del-ah-noe). The music that I make is here. Anything that me and my friend Chris do together is Vitriol, and anything by me is... me. All of the songs are made in my room between my laptop and my DAW so that's why they all kind of demo-esque sound.
I love my girlfriend, she's fucking awesome. Best thing ever. I can't see being without her.
I consider myself a bit jaded, other people call me cynical, etc. I'd imagine some of that is due to the norm of media or rather, it's penetration. I mean look, you're on myspace right now, you've probably got your cell phone handy and maybe the TV on in the background. We're animals centered around finding new stimulus. Philosopher's find their's in thought or, perpetual stimulus. Howerver, not many of us.
Our game is practically over. The game of getting food is dead, thanks to supermarkets. The consequence that births from desire for money, sex, power is has been nullified to a certain extent. The everyman is the man, he has it all to an extent. Endless entertainment, a faux sense of wealth in debt, and sexual gratification in readily available porn, Maxim, TV, etc. He also finds himself in an awkward position of power, because he can have almost anything he wants if he works hard enough, but he knows the taste of everything. That's what keeps him running. This is Amerca after all, right?
About Me:
In spite of this, I'm always looking for new stuff and can't be still for more than a second. I'm always on the internet, working out, or looking for something to do. A part of me looks forward to seeing the bombs drop or the zombie-pocalypse. I think that would be a pretty cool test of everyone's metal. I know it sounds crazy, but there it is.
I go to the University of Colorado at Denver and am pursuing a BS in psychology and a minor in communications. I'm addicted to original videogames, music, and film. I like my fiction dystopic, war-torn, dramatic, and violent. Consequently, I also love snuff films and gore. I'm thinking about going into forensics or CTS decon (crime and trauma scene decontamination).
I'm happy I'm fortunate enough to have an awesome girlfriend, Mia.
