Halodarkly

About Me

think of me as the fault line between silence and chaos. you're welcome.

one of the guitarists in culture vandals ; member of the mysterious c p trio - which is occasionally a trio, and at other times isn't; sometime noise monger with the elusively unnamed vibrolounge band ; one of many multi-instrumentalists in all-improv electric ensemble phned cZensic back in the halcyon days of phned; solo electronic musician/guitarist/loopologist/remixer under the name halodarkly. i was the one who made jane birkin make those noises on histoire de melody nelson. basically, i am spartacus.

check out my stuff and that of my partners in crime at Vibrolounge , The Alphabet Set & Invisible Agent .

oh, and i was joking when i said "partners in crime". we don't commit crimes together. of any kind.

The last angry man... I admire people who can be this fired up with righteous indignation. Reminds me of Henry Rollins. Shame all the rest of us are asleep. [via Jill Jones]
