Womb

About Me

I starting in 2001 with nothing but a few battered old synths, a vintage tape delay, a crap mixer, an SM57, and an analog 24 track. Not the worst begining for an artist ever. But in the five years between those humble, and frankly talentless, beginings things have skyrocketed. Music, art, writings, engineering, multimedia concepts and video editting (and thats just out of boredom in his time out) have sprung up as more outlets for me. In that time Womb has collected a range of skills, tricks, equipment, and a great many useful names in his little black book and is now happily settled in front of his equipment creating new noises for your dilectation.

The debut album 3 Lives is due any day now, with contributions by a great many artists and musicians ranging from folk, to rock, to rap, to classical musicians. The artwork is now finished and the CD is in the process of being pressed. The material stretches from glistening electronica, to heartfelt trip hop ballads, to hard-as-nails glitch-hop screams. Its been discribed as "Bravely different, strikingly juxtaposed, inconsistantly styled yet oddly compelling and grounded". 3 Lives is the product of five solid years of work, toil, crisis, experience and dedication. Preceeding the album, The Sunset Strip E.P was set free among the masses to wet your appitites with a modicum of sleaze and lashings of inginuity. The single Rough Stars has already been picked up by 247 Records making it to their biggest release of the year; the aptly titled "Welcome To The Tropic Zone" (available in 14 countries, and world wide through Alpha Pup on iTunes). The EP maps the course of the summer, and time I spent working closely with Innaspace (Buccimazza, Shapeshifters) SSS E.P is a prime example of the continual artistic firefights between my own inspiration and my desire to make sound capable of universal enjoyment. In essence Womb is music not defined by genre, style, tempo, sound, but rather by the way in which all these elements are blended to create something different. This music won't change your life, make you go vegan, or convince you to join the army. But you'll have one hell of a trip listening to it.
