I used to work under the project name Droopy Septum. I was in the group Pi=3 as well among other various bands, collectives and projects.
Embarking on a Midwest Tour this July with TUSK LORD and CHRIS NIELS.
NEW AMERICAN FOLK HERO East Coast Tour this August with MIKE TAMBURO, TUSK LORD and CHRIS NIELS.
If you would like us to play near you check the tour schedule and drop me a line. Maybe something could work out! That'd be awesome.

"Distorted and heavily treated, the drones on 'Howling Lands, Whispering Leaves' are almost unbearably harsh in places, especially on album opener 'Sun Starved Streams Still Flow'. Having got over the shock, the rest of the album reveals far more variety than previously suspected, the sounds softening as the album continues, so that the final track 'Ode To Jinx' is as soothing and Psychedelic, a far cry from the harsh industrial opener. Created by Ryan Emmett, working under the name Droopy Septum, this is an album that needs several plays before you realise just how good it is" --- Terrascope UK
"What makes Howling Lands different from other drone records is that it manages to evoke notions of nature and household, of wooden wand and lawnmower, of brackish waters and defective sockets all at the same time. And somehow still works." --- Foxy Digitalis (US)
"Black Ash Lotus is a darkly ambient, yet quite forceful and unsettling, even disturbing drone affair. These five tracks mostly offer steady low minimal noise bliss resulting in a somewhat alien, bitter and cold soundscape, although it within its boundaries actually covers a wide expanse of sonic terrain."
"...this is really not noise in the traditional sense but the thick lava flow of droning buzz and carefully layered gusts of hiss and screech most certainly nod in that direction. To my ears it sounds a bit like Sunroof! on valium, and if anyone wonder[s], I do consider such a comment to be a great compliment." --- Broken Face (Sweden)
