The Black Swans of Trespass

About Me

If you cannot figure out who and what the BLACK SWANS OF TRESPASS are, you are truly fucking retarded.
The music is here, the pics, everything you need to figure it out. If you need a fake, pissy bio to cut and paste into your god awful ego trip bullshit piece of shit publication - well YOU ARE SHIT OUT OF LUCK, and you are a lazy prick that should reassess your concept of self-respect.
There are many pissweak idiots out there that will see this as "unprofessional." Well. Holy jesus in a freaking handbag, you sanctimonious dipshits. Let me ellucidate your troglodian vetsigial eyeballs, you dipshits.
IN ALL MY MANY, MANY YEARS AS A MUSICIAN NEVER, NOT ONCE (except at the Wheatsheaf, in Adelaide,) HAS MY LEVEL OF PROFESSIONALITY EVER ONCE BEEN RECIPROCATED.
That's right you egotistical little bird baths. You, for years, have expected me to provide posters, reviews, publications, etc etc etc etc for your shitty venue that pays me NOTHING! Enough is fucking enough.
If you cannot hear this music, that CC Thornley - FUCKING MOI, is not a revolutionary banjonified fucking GENIUS, there is no way in hell I am going to do business with you. You might as well carry on down the street, arms out-stretched, chanting "BRAINS....BRAINS....BRIANS...." because what you pathetic parasites are, from this moment forth, going to recieve from me is a shot gun to the face, like it says in chapter one of the ZOMBIE SURVIVAL GUIDE.
Now, as for the picture you see on my site, rest assured, the woman in the picture is PURELY ORNAMENTAL. She has no integrity and very little talent. I deeply regret offering her the charity she recieved, and rest assured, only I could squeeze any kind of decent, classy performance from her. She is a ZOMBIE.
This site is ONLY FOR those who like the music I create, and for those with INTELLIGENCE and INTEGRITY. The rest of you, well, I think you know by now what you can do with your indignation.....

My Interests

Influences: Dürer: Innsbruck, 1495

I had often, cowled in the slumberous heavy air,
Closed my inanimate lids to find it real,
As I knew it would be, the colourful spires
And painted roofs, the high snows glimpsed at the back,
All reversed in the quiet reflecting waters —
Not knowing then that Dürer perceived it too.
Now I find that once more I have shrunk
To an interloper, robber of dead men’s dream,
I had read in books that art is not easy
But no one warned that the mind repeats
In its ignorance the vision of others. I am still
the black swan of trespass on alien waters.
