Guitars are like guns...words are like bullets.

About Me

Jon Daniels was excavated in January of 1987, and soon demonstrated an uncanny ability to discover pleasing melodious structural patterns. This skill often presented itself while en route with his family to various long-distant destinations.
His journey into music production began the summer after 6th grade, as he discovered how to program beats and melodies on a thrift-store learner's keyboard, importing them into the stock Sound Recorder program on his computer and tweaking them with the minimal effects available...
He steadily developed my composition skills and increased his knowledge of music until the summer after his senior year, when he integrated performance on real-time instruments into his songwriting process, first with keyboard, and later with guitar.
Discography:
The Interkinetic ep was released in late 2004 and featured eight instrumental electronic compositions. Extremely rare, it is slated for possible re-release.
Miles of Wire is scheduled for release at a yet-undetermined (probably Winter 2006/2007.)
