About Me

12 Apostles offer stereo salvation through the sanctity of sound.
12 Apostles have embarked on a ministry of twelve acts of atonement at 45 revolutions a minute.
12 Apostles are a willing conduit for the reconciliation of capital with creativity and seek nothing for themselves.
12 Apostles behold the now, resurrect the past and glory in the future.
12 Apostles are the self-appointed zealots of an analogue medium in a digital age.
12 Apostles acknowledge the inability of those already in control to change anything for the better.
12 Apostles come in peace with a contrite heart, seek no quarter, offer none in return and will not turn the other cheek.
12 Apostles will cauterise the wounds of youth, kiss the scars of memory and lay the turntable for the last supper.
12 Apostles acknowledge both the mote and the beam in the eye of the beholder.
12 Apostles are neither the medium, the message nor a paper tiger amongst a tissue of lies.
12 Apostles are not the start of a beginning but the end of an ending
12 Apostles are beating a path to the strait gate for all that have it within themselves to make the journey.
