Artist description One human, many many machines, and misc spirits of various origins working together to create deep drones and textural noise.

Music Style Boring in very specific and intentional ways. Stagnant pools in which to drown your thoughts and watch what rises up to feast on their carcasses. Field recordings from the land of the dead. Marching music for things without legs.

Musical Influences Spending far too much time by myself in front of the machines instead of being out in the sun meeting people. Industrial, Noise, Ambient, Drone, and Minimalist musics. Just intonation. Academic computer music nonsense. Prime numbers. Aleatoric and Algorithmic composition. The voices in my head. The voices that those voices talk to.

Artist History Realizing that people are more trouble than they are worth, I sought out other collaborators. Some I built, some I invited to help me, some came of their own accord. We do our thing and after they go home I edit the tapes. It's worked for a few years and seems to get better with time. Some of these pieces are reworkings/editings/manglings of source tapes that come from several years ago when I was working with other people in other bands. (Bloom, Cherubim Rediculoi, Sotto Voce, etc) These days it's just me, the machines, my special guests and occasionally tapes of sounds made by other people that I manipulate. After a long period of inactivity new work has started and much old material has been re-discovered which should be made available in the coming months.
