Artist History originally concieved in 1996 as pop culture pearls, chris wanted to play music but had no talent whatsoever. cheap electric guitar driven hooks with some keyboard backing where fused into some really bad songs. then after a little more instrument and musical knowledged was gained the cheap songs where formed into not as cheap songs... still bad but not as bad. name was changed to broken after the nine inch nails album that rules all... all the songs from this era where downward spiral rejects if trent reznor was a talentless 15 year old. other bands where formed afterwards and chris' solo music was put on the back burner. this is when chris learned he couldn't work well musically with other people due to the fact true visionaries can't work with other visionaries. in the beginning of his first semester at college, chris joined into an intro to electronic music class where he formed the next stage in the evolution of his sound. experimentations in noise was made, and from that was born the better living thru discotech ep, noise industrial landscapes in the vein of most of the digital hardcore label roster. chris began to learn the true bank of musical power he had with a computer, and his musicianship grew more and more and worked on his sequencing and sampeling skills. after the original name of anthems of pain and methanphetamines was realized to be a much better, and easier to write name than EIN, chris made the final name that is now tattooed on his arm. circle no.5, and the rest is history. now working on making his own record label where other artists with his same musical ideals can be shared with others and each other... cyber-punk records
