About Me

a human named mattHEW MUNn in search for different sounds in all things. different methods of playing instruments incorporated with analog electronics. interested in making science fiction soundscapes.
haunting and ethereal.
under exposed
underated.
unknown.

scintillated garble is available.

i'm tired of the same sounding music being made and repeated. though the crowds think otherwise.
after all, most musicians are just copies of other musicians. that's how it all goes around, right?
