So... I like to read, think, and learn (finally got a grip on that italian language!)...
Outside of that, I've been a professional drummer for over 12 years now, as well as producing electronic and experimental music.
I currently work with Skinny Puppy , My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult , and Bahntier ...
My other projects are kETvECTOR (psychedelic electronica) with Stefano Rossello, The Implicate Order (experimental ambient) with Paris and el clon, and the soon to be completed American Memory Project with William Morrison.

Thanks for coming by!
HAGBARD CELINE'S "DEFINITIONS AND DISTINCTIONS":
FREE MARKET
That condition of society in which all economic transactions result from
voluntary choice without coercion.
THE STATE
That institution which interferes with the Free
Market through the direct exercise of coercion or
the granting of privileges (backed
by coercion).
TAX
That form of coercion or
interference with the Free
Market in which the
State collects tribute (the tax), allowing it to hire armed forces to practice
coercion in
defense of privilege,
and also to engage in such wars, adventures, experiments, "reforms," etc.,
as it pleases not at its own cost, but at the cost of "its" subjects.
PRIVILEGE
From the Latin privi, private, and lege, law. An advantage
granted by the
State and protected by its powers of coercion.
A law for private benefit.
USURY
That form of privilege or
interference with the Free
Market in which one State-supported
group monopolizes the coinage and thereby takes tribute (interest), direct
or indirect, on all or most economic transactions.
LANDLORDISM
That form of privilege or
interference with the Free
Market in which one State-supported
group "owns" the land and thereby takes tribute (rent) from those
who live, work, or produce on the land.
TARIFF
That form of privilege or
interference with the Free
Market in which commodities produced outside the
State are not allowed to compete equally with those produced inside the
State.
POLITICAL CAPITALISM
That organization of society, incorporating elements of tax, usury, landlordism,
and tariff,
which thus denies the Free
Market while pretending to exemplify it.
CONSERVATISM
That school of capitalist philosophy
which claims allegiance to the Free
Market while actually supporting usury, landlordism, tariff,
and sometimes taxation.
LIBERALISM
That school of capitalist philosophy
which attempts to correct the injustices of capitalism by
adding new laws to existing laws. Each time conservatives pass
a law creating privilege,
liberals pass another law modifying privilege,
leading conservatives to
pass a more subtle law recreating privilege,
etc., until "everything not forbidden is compulsory" and "everything
not compulsory is forbidden."
SOCIALISM
The attempted abolition of all privilege by
restoring power entirely to the coercive agent behind privilege, the
State, thereby converting capitalist oligarchy into Statist monopoly. Whitewashing
a wall by painting it black.
ANARCHISM
That organization of society in which the Free Market operates freely, without taxes, usury, landlordism, tariffs, or other forms of coercion or privilege.
RIGHT ANARCHISTS predict that in the Free Market people would voluntarily choose to compete more often than to cooperate.
LEFT ANARCHISTS predict that in the Free Market people would voluntarily choose to cooperate more often than to compete.
