About Me

who can say? i am tiny and loud. i film stuff, armed with strange brains and a canon gl2. technically i'm in two bands, scandaliz vandalistz and TRASH TRASH TRASH . i do my best to like life but it is so so hard. i am an idealist, a pessimist, a completist (or i want to be). items on my happy list include rock and roll, playgrounds, and abandoned buildings. i am trying to find reasons to keep existing. i listen to music:

My Interests

music, film, writing

I'd like to meet:

art party cadets!

I'm a bubble in a sound wave
A sonic push for energy
Exploding like the sun
A flash of clean light hope
All you scientists can hold your breath
Shall I decide to show myself? Oh oh
(Take me to the source of chaos let me be the butterfly
Oh my, imperfect symmetry has underlying poetry in rhyme)

If you think like Thomas Edison
Could you invent a world for me?
Now all that's on the surface
Are bloody arms and oil fields
Could I turn this place upside down
And shake you and your fossils out? Oh oh
(You can't predict everything with Newton like certainty, why
Oh my, cause it floats around all we see with oscillating energy on high)
And you soothe yourself with the sounds you know
You tune out out out the hypnotic drone
Perfect hexagon of the honeycomb
And you soothe your soul with the shapes you know

Should I come outside and run your cars
Should I run your rockets to the stars
Could you invent a world for me?
I need to hear a symphony
If I'm to run the future
You've got to let the old world go Oh oh
(Take me to the source of chaos let me be the butterfly
Oh my, imperfect symmetry has underlying poetry in rhyme)

Your word for me is fusion
But is real change an illusion?
Could I turn this place all upside down
And shake you and your fossils out?
If I'm to run the future
You've got to let the old world go
Could you invent a world for me?
I need to hear a symphony
