About Me


An introvert with art-fag tendencies in many mediums. Performance art, music, video, painting, photography, design, etc, etc. Tech-head by design and environment. I was raised around computers and the latest in commercial technology since I was a baby which is all thanks to my father. My main thing has to be the creative process in making my music which differs in style, influence, and ideals from project to project. At the moment there are seven of them that are currently active. Gross National Produkt deals mainly in Electro-Clash Industrial/Darwave type stuff. Sound-Skrapes is my Dark Ambient/Avant-Garde/Traditional Industrial/Harsh-Noise project. Extropy Nervosa which is a project I share with a good friend is like hardcore, distorted Industrial DnB. Next up is Thee Rezinunts Muzik Projekt , a project which serves as a collection of the lighter and some-what more accessible creations that come along which I tend to have vocalists collaborate with me on. One of my most adored projects is Blood Ties . This project is a collaboration between me and my brother and is completely live and improvised recordings that are later refined and quantized. The sixth projekt, Komatose Void is also shared with a close friend and I'm currently looking for a female vocalist who can scream in a DHR kinda style for this project as well as a guitarist. It's styling includes Power-Electronics, Darkcore, DHR, IDM, Drill N Bass. Basically rhythmic electronic music to smash things to. The latest project I've taken on is Set For Deletion which includes three and soon possibly four very talented people. It's hard to really classify currently but I'll just go with Electro-Clash/EBM/Hip-Hop for right now until I think of something a lil more witty. =P
I'm into the visual arts heavily as well and my most adored and influential visual artists would have to be Trevor Brown, H.R. Giger, Mark Ryden, Joel Peter Witkin, Alessandro Bavari, Camille Rose Garcia, Philippe Fichot, Dave McKean, Viktor Koen, & Salvador Dali. If you want to check out my visual art please visit Rezinunts @ DeviantART . Also, feel free to check out my own homepage Rezinunts Nettwork .
"Don't hate the media. Be the media."
Adore:
The colors orange, green, blue, black, perfecting my usage of chopsticks (i can pinch pretty hard with em now! yay!), reeses peanut butter ice-cream, bolthouse farms all natural juices, sushi, classy pinup girls, my manga collection, veggin out to a good x-box game once in awhile, interesting and artistic modern-day architecture, just about all things Japanese, nag champa incense, curling up with a good book, putting my thoughts on paper, vanilla scents, the smell of baked goods, a really good concert, most forms of physics (astro, nuclear, quantum, etc), astrology, checking out the moon & whatever else i can find with my telescope (mild astronomy when i have the time), computer sciences, wired magazine, drawing, painting, meditating in the shower =P, writing html, finishing projects, linux, rewarding myself with a phat doobie when i get home from work, camping, tattoos & piercings, Kaylie Star & Juliette Sky (my nieces), checking out specs on new gear, researching recording and synthesis techniques, watching the stars, natural locations (hot springs, national forests & lakes, secluded waterfronts, etc), stories that stimulate your brain and/or your heart weather they are told through visual theatrics or through the printed page, cute girls with big attitudes, berserk!, music and the ears in which to hear it (duh), cuddling and spooning with someone special, sincerity, kitties, candy, various rare & hard to find sub-culture related items, your mom..hehehe..
Abhor:
Drama, pathological lyers, over-rated bands with no talent, our current over-saturated pop culture, fake plastic trees, robots (in the metaphoric sense), political 'leaders', church people, ignorance, television and commercials, people who are pretentious and have absolutely no reason to be. Believe me, there are a lot more things I could do without but I wouldn't want you leaving this page thinking I'm all negative =).

My Interests

Primarily audio & visual art but most of my other main interests include asian culture, science & technology, journalism/reading & writing, hanging out with friends & socializing, smoking green, breaking things (really), learning.

Movies:

Lots of live-action Japanese cinema by the following people, Akira Kurosawa, Takashi Miike, Sogo Ishii, Shinya Tsukamoto, Akiko Hada, Kiyoshi Kurosawa, and Hideo Nakata. Not to mention the numerous anime movies and series such as Berserk, Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Escaflowne, Blood: The Last Vampire, Dead Leaves, Magical Shopping Arcade, Serial Experiments: Lain, Urotsukidoji, Noir, Vampire Hunter D, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Full Metal Panic, FLCL.

Television:

The goverment controls your television set. They control the vertical and the horizontal, and in turn it controls your thoughts and your emotions and as a result dumbs them down and dillutes them to a murky shallow cesspool of a population that makes it easier to control and manipulate to meet their own ends. So I guess you could say that I'm not big on mind control but, I do occasionaly watch G4/TechTV, Comedy Central, Cartoon Nettwork, and various educational programming (History, Discovery, National Geographic, etc., etc.) from time to time.

Books:

Lots of books....Favorite authors would have to be Peter Sotos, William S. Burroughs, Anthony Burgess, Max Allan Collins, Catherine Bush, Anne Rice, Bret Easton Ellis, Poppy Z. Brite, Robert Frost, Eugène Sue, Howard Bloom, George Orwell, Neil Gaiman, H.P. Lovecraft, Richard Dawkins, J.G. Ballard, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Edgar Allan Poe, Larry Niven, Leo Tolstoy, Alvin Toffler, Victor Hugo, Franz Kafka, Friedrich Nietzsche, William Cooper, Isaac Asimov, Emil Cioran, De Sade, Clive Barker, Stephen Hawking, Austin Osman Spare, Marvin Harris, Kahlil Gibran, Michio Kaku, Marcus Tullius Cicero, Paul Valery, Ellen Key, Richard von Krafft-Ebing, Oscar Wilde, Octave Mirbeau, Alan Watts, Lautreamont, J.D. Salinger, Michael Crichton, Kenneth Grant, Gilbert Keith Chesterton, Karl Heinrich Ulrichs, Phillip K. Dick, William Gibson

Heroes:

Christopher Walken, Bruce Campbell, cEvin Key, David Thrussell, Rudy Ratzinger, William Bennet, Genesis P. Orridge, The Moz, Johnny Cash (RIP), Jhonn Balance (RIP), David Tibet, Ian Curtis (RIP), Rozz Williams (RIP), Douglas Pierce, Bill Leeb, Mike Wells, Boyd Rice, My Friends & Family, Me
