About Me

I'm going to avoid any kind of long - winded thing from here out. I feel I've put in work, paid dues, and done whatever it's taken for me to get to this point. I pour my entire soul into what I do - and although most of the tracks I've posted are from my solo efforts, my dedication has since been shifted to creating deeper and more meaningful songs with my family - Projekt Lotus.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 12/2/2004
Band Website: projektlotus.com
Band Members: (Projekt Lotus) - sympL, Tavo, Knot-N-MC, Mo'Ses, Neland. Also - Church, Achim, Hafez Hakim & Mr.Dash, Minus1, Levi Stress, ET, Knowzark - will always be affilliates. And even though he never touched a mic or turntables, Toot will be a part of this always.
Influences: Herman Hesse, Henry David Thoreau, Walt Whitman, Herman Melville
Sounds Like: Hmmm... Reminiscent shit - like that '93 boom-bap that had everyone jumping. Back when Hip-Hop was still grimy... But - with the mission to elevate the universe - like eating psychedelics and listening to Wu-Tang's early shit... Like jazz and soul and reggae and punk rock. Tavo's favorite producers are Pete Rock and Madlib. My favorite emcees are KRS and Ghostface. We don't really try to sound like anyone, but it's definitely NOT what's being played on the radio these days.
Record Label: Varia Laboratories
Type of Label: None

seeds.

The seeds. It's all we're here for - really. We need to nurture the future - we're losing our place. I pressed dilligently forward toward the depths of space. I've let rhythms ...

Projekt Lotus - The new album!

It's been far too long. Projekt Lotus has some 12 or 13 CDs out. Some singles, some EPs, some freestyles - but only one full length since 2001! We've also undergone some major lineup...

When will it matter?

After the party's over. After the crowd has cleared and the floor's sticky with spilled beverage and the smell of stale cigarette smoke is all that lingers - that and us - waiting for our meager cut ...

"enamored" from Truth, Love, and Hunger

I'm mesmerized by the geometry. Fascinated with the motion, see, I'm enamored by the rhythm moving endlessly. I've crystallized. And jagged fragments feel somehow syncronized - I treat life as though ...

"Tandem Principles" from the Truth, Love, and Hunger EP

I can't say anything that hasn't already been said - yet, I've applied tandem principles to attain a state of balance. See, everything is everything and one begat the other - and I move through the f...
