justplainpaul - album in the works!

About Me

Native to Indiana my whole life. Moved to Muncie in 2001 to pursue my education in Music Engineering. I'm also minoring in Classical guitar, and Digital Media. I love it. It's now an umbilical part of my life.
I currently am involved with a couple of projects - justplainpaul - my own personal compositional journey; and Ecliptic Switch - a rock band that incorporates live electronic elements with prog influenced hard rock.
You can also check out if anything - a band in which I attended to the duties of bass in early '06. Great guys, and a lot of fun. They are missed.
warTIME Kids is a more aggressive side of my creative outlet, consisting of myself and guests. It's still in the early infantile stages, so the demos are rough.
And lastly, jljpp - a tribute site to a day of improvisation with very close friend Jeff Little. The works on this page were composed entirely of many pieces of hardware synchronized and were manipulated in real-time. No overdubs, no edits - just raw moments in creativity.
Personally, I love to compose music that is further manipulated by the machinery, as it is also an improvisitory part of the performance.
That's all in this biography. *poke, poke* you can wake up now! :)

You Are Dr. Bunsen Honeydew
You take the title "mad scientist" to the extreme -with very scary things coming out of your lab.
And you've invented some pretty cool things, from a banana sharpener to a robot politician.
But while you're busy turning gold into cottage cheese, you need to watch out for poor little Beaker!

A surreal moment.

As an individual who tends to slumber at "normal" hours, I find that this particular moment is a little late for me in the evening. However, as I was beginning to post a thought on here, it was quick...
