Artist description The Muse dissects the Artist with mechanical precision. She experiments with various gadgets, pain amplifiers, white noize generators, negation rituals, subliminal disruption pulses, and electronic torture devices upon our helpless victim, as Darkness and Light are purged for all to see. This Autopsy is performed on the Artist's soul until nothing remains except for the Slave-Drone of creative energies, an essence spliced from his subconscious mind. Then it is rebuilt through catharsis. We refer to this Process as INSEkT L0GIC.

Press Reviews DJ Straylight [UK] wrote, "Really amazing stuff... totally unlike anything I've heard before. Slightly reminiscent of Bowie's '1. Outside', but that's not a bad thing. The instrumental tracks are very good, but the tracks with vocals are even more powerful. Post-post-everything, or somesuch. You've inspired me; can't wait to hear more, if there is more to come... downloaded it all and put it on a CD, loads of people are asking me who this weird music I'm playing is by..."
