The Myth

About Me

Myth (definition): Fulfills common social functions, providing a model or charter for human behavior. Myths are used to directly communicate deeper meanings to the consciousness of an individual through symbols and imagery. These symbols and images are directly communicated to the practitioner so that it is not processed by the conditioned mind, but it becomes a direct experience for the practitioner.
This is what The Myth is trying to emulate through music. Telling stories and creating aural imagery which directly speaks of the human condition that is accessible to everyone. The rhythms are intricate and concise. The melodies range from powerful, beautiful, haunting, angry, happy, and more Each song uniquely provokes an emotion that is directly experienced. The lyrics seem to have an energy that is all of their own. No subject is to taboo, as long as it tells a story that is thought provoking and inspires the listener to feel. Subjects such as: Alcoholism, physical abuse, doomed relationships/marriage, the fear of loneliness, the fear of intimacy, religion, self doubt, and more have been topics of The Myths songs.
Join The Myth on a journey into the realms of imagination and real life, and come out on the other side with a new perspective on the world.
Constantly on the move doing, learning, and being curious. My passion is to create and share my experiences through the arual and visual arts. My music may sound fimiliar to the soul, but never common. I have been writing original music for the past 17 years.
My latest musical endevour is more of a organic compound of folk, blues, bluegrasss, funk, and rock. I am very proud of my latest songs. I hope you will agree, once I post them. The music, that I have currently posted, was writen between 2 - 5 years ago. I will post the new songs shortly. -- More to come --
