About Me

* EXPERIMENTAL MUSIC * CIRCUIT BENDING *
Life as Number Five, is an experimental circuit bending project. As described on wikipedia "Circuit bending is the creative short-circuiting of devices such as low voltage, battery-powered guitar effects, children’s toys and small synthesizers to create new musical instruments and sound generators. Emphasizing spontaneity and randomness, the techniques of circuit bending have been commonly associated with noise music, though many more conventional contemporary musicians and musical groups have been known to experiment with "bent" instruments." I personally feel it’s my attempt to fulfill a childhood dream of unlocking a worm hole in attempt to time travel. I love watching Quantum Leap, Back to the Future, Donnie Darko, Doctor Who (though it’s been a while), Bill& Ted’s Excellent Adventure, Time Cop, Sliders, and so on...You can find out a lot about a person by asking "if you could go back in time where would you go, and why." Beside someday hoping to time travel back to 1984 to become a sponsored skateboarder before my bones and joints completely give out...I love restoring old bicycles and converting older road bikes into fixed gear cycles. It’s a lot of fun to rip these bikes up and give them a new life. Another passion is amature magic...I love to entertain. I’d call myself a goofy guy looking to get a laugh or smile out of people. So simple slight of hand usually works well for that. Ah... The Prestige. I read a book when I was a kid, about Harry Houdini, and I was hooked. He was a great showman. My little sister always sends me old magic books and coin trick books. I love these type of things. I have kind of been busy as of late to preform for friends but writing this is getting me going. I’m always willing to trade tricks too, so just ask :) So those are my interest, and hobbies right now...they are subject to change without notice. ;) Thanks for checking out my tunes...Sorry you were so bored that you had to bring yourself to read this... :) PEACE! ..
