Artist description Daryle Stephen Ackerman: -- a biological entity unfortunately born to the T. A. & S. A. of "Satan" on the once free land of Kanata (a. k. a. "Canada"); the odds were against him and he unfortunately mismanaged his detractors from (a. d.) 1,989 through (a. d.) 2,002 inclusive due to an uncalculated risk in music (as opposed to quietly leading projects like the other keyboardist, Banks), resulting in very little technological, business, and musical output. A thoroughly and internationally misunderstood chap from a dull place and an equally dull time -- Earth, circa the dawn of the third millenium; such is the design of his nemesis (a former bow of international technological fame (acquired chiefly from ripping Him off)) and/or the spirit of the *original* Joan of Arc, who was burned at the stake at nineteen years of age as a young French maiden virgin circa (a. d.) 1,500 for being found guilty of heresy. No other entity (or collection thereof) has ever known the psychological trauma, isolation, and hell which he futilely endured from May of `93 through to December of `95, inclusive atop Mount Mine -- partially at his own fault, but mostly that of his biological relatives and Kanata -- and no other entity (or collection thereof) has known, knows, or shall know such hell. But, even still, Joan never won. She'll find that he's succeeded her stay on this planet by a good seven years to date (June of (a. d.) 2,002) and has even managed to have *some* fun in the meantime and get some productive work done. She should've just led the leaders of the opposing English and French (?) forces to settle their little geographical dispute over a board of chess, as seen in more civilized days of yore, as opposed to tearing all sides up with little, threatening letters. Such was Joan: blasphemous and venemous. Her sentence is what she got for, back then, the Church and State never fought. They were married as one common entity. Agitating the Church/State of that era was a mistake, a BIG mistake. And She paid the ultimate price, and no doubt ensured that so did he: - no bus; - no student loan (`til four years after secondary school); - no rights; - no knowledge of going anywhere of his own volition; the Eureaka moment of when his parents disowned in `93 came and went quite quickly; he died; he died -- just as Joan died. And he's tired of paying the price for his "family's" and her blasphemous, destructive, deceptive, albeit active ways.
