I have been playing music for approximately 30 years, and guitar (rock, folk, experimental, etc.) for about 25. I started doing experimental/noise music in the late 1970's on Arp Odyssey and Electro-Comp synths, as well as circuit-bent and otherwise-hacked gear, and in recent and future times have been part of the projects ProtoDeusExMachina, Another Man's Treasure, The Reckoning of Artemis, Bolus Dose, YNI, Robot Mandala, Electric Sky, and others.A few (but by no means anything close to a complete list of) bands/performers/styles I like a lot are Page 27, Space Ape Experiment, BlackCell, In Ether, Helios Creed/Chrome, Pink Floyd, Ozric Tentacles, Aphex Twin, Delerium, Iron Maiden, Grateful Dead, Simon&Garfunkel, Fear, Dead Can Dance, Led Zeppelin, CSNY, Kiss, Foxton Band, Butthole Surfers, Psychic TV, Crash Worship, Martha's Wake, Caroliner Rainbow, VNV Nation, (the original) King Missile, Bongwater, Seraphim Shock, Fields of the Nephilim, Happy World, all forms of Apocalyptic Neo-Polka (Neo-pOLKA OR dIE!), goth/deathrock, bleepy-thumpy, psychedelic, noize, rock'n'roll, IDM, 1000 or more other specific things I'm too chemstupid to name right now, and almost everything else, too.
I've been in two or three (as an extra). I also have been a perpetrator (or co-perp, or hired/blackmailed hand) of hundreds of hours of interactive videomix madness since 1992, - on video screens at clubs, concerts, DJ shows, raves, art shows, installations, etc. I've worked with other visual artists - as well as solo - under the names Tantric Lobotomy Commission, Spectral Lobotomy, Lord_Y, and many others - supporting (and frequently actively creatively collaborating with) dozens of underground and top-name artists - including many of the musicians, DJs, and performance artists in my friends-list.
Are you talkin' 'bout my mama, motherfolker!?!?I edited, was featured in, and/or otherwise contributed to a few documentaries, mostly for for foreign (to the USA) markets.. Other than that, see "movies" section above..
Yes, I'm writing several. Chuck Palahniuk stole the working title for my autobiography (and the subtitle of my LJ) "Stranger Than Fiction", but then I probably stole it somewhere before that. As probably did whomever I stole it from. Negativland, baby! At age 18, under the band name "Supernova", I wrote "Johnny B. Goode" on the guitar. With different lyrics, but, well, you get the idea. (Chuck P kicks so much ass that I'd forgive him even if he stole my likely-stolen title intentionally. We memetic engineers do that sometimes. *grin*)"No Link for Wendy", my likely first novel, may actually appear before its contained prophecies begin to come true in 2011. But I think that unlikely, given the current nature of my goal/time/energy/sanity ratio. My second hope is that it comes out before the rest of it really starts kicking up in 2027 (rendering it - as art, prophecy, and indeed "relevant at all" - irrelevant) so that it'll actually matter before, well, it doesn't. LOL
Look in the mirror. Now, without lying to yourself about it (to either your benefit or your detriment), and through various (and hopefully overlapping) periods of knowledge, love, wisdom, work, sickness, sloth, fear, hedonism, agony, confidence, "meta-awareness", humility, and what I half-jokingly (and half dead-seriously) call "truthful arrogance" and "awareness of your partial, conditional, and always-increasable connection to your intrinsic godhood" you love what you see, then you hereby qualify as one of my heroes.
