    Artist History
    Hmmmm..... How does someone best describe their history. I spose the best description would be that I realized recently that the 'ol 9 to 5 thing just wasn't doing it by itself any longer so on to (or should I say back to) better things... And maybe a few lif facts first then some senseless rambling just in case you actually want to read further... Birthplace: ---Des Plaines, Illinois (or the good 'ol suburbs of Chicago!!). ---Birthdate: February 14th, 1964 (yep got the bonus birthday goin there). ---Education: Graduated Maine West High school 1982. Currently attending NIU & Loacal College in pursuit of an CIS/MIS, Mathematics or Design/Engineering degree. (boy do I look out of place in college!!) ---Music History: Bagan guitar lessons at the age of 9, 4th grade. praciced the song Don McCleans "american pie" for my mother for hours on end to the tune of a kitchen timer for 2 hour everyother day while strapped to a chair against my will so needless to say I now hate Don McClean & that song!! Progressed gutair playing through lower eduaction through to High school. Responsible for the formation of 3 HS bands ---1st Band) Stollen Gnomes collapsed quicker than it started ---2nd Band) Waste of Time, played mostly HS parties ---3rd Band) Detention, won Prospect HS battle of the bands in 1981, relased 2 singles locally poorly produced by the AV dept. on cassette. The singles were: "I did it(wasn't me)" amd "forgot my pencil" Unfortunatley, after HS I jumped straight into the trades and completley lost track of musical goals and aspirations. Was blinded by the fact of "you want to pay me how much money to go up there??" Sure!! Sure, I'll do it!! Was straight out of HS and had never even been presented that kind of an offer to make that kind of money so at the time it seemed like the right avenue to pursue, regaudless though I have no regrets of it. It was an extremely profitable 16 or so years.... :) ...And now twenty years later the current formation of The ALLOY project. Mostly of my personal endeavors and now on it's upcoming release of it's second CD! RustRocketRecords produced 100 copies of the first release "ALLOY" of which I distributed 46 copies worldwide and gave away the other 54. The goal for the 2nd CD entitled "Deconstruction" will be to produce 250 copies and distribute hopefully 1/2 to other than peolpe that I know this time around. What you hear here on MP3.com is a far cry in sound & it's meticulous production quality from the actual quality of their production onto a CD format. All tracks shake the walls on the CD far superior to a digital format. The tentative release date is 03/01/03. I will post updates if there are any changes in the release date. And then here's the Blah Blah Blah part.... ---Just for a little personal insight.... I wasn't finding that Hanging from 50 to 100 story buildings all day wasn't going to do anything other than make me an old guy that installled glass and metal in buildings all his life and the only thing to show for it, other than the nifty union pension was going to be the usual arthritis and back problems you find in anyone that has honestly worked in the trades for nearly 20 years. Hey I'm not knockin the trades and any of the unions been a proud emeber of Glaziers & architectural metal Local #27 Chicago the pay and benefits are great but it just began to lack something over time, too much time maybe. so you begin to look back at the things you used to enjoy and dream about and wonder what happened to it all. Well that was easy you wasted you're best years away arguing with jobsite formen and archtects all day long for 15 to 20 years (an awful but unstopping reality as the sands of time thicken on your original passions). So needless to say due to the descision of a few idividuals wiser & smarter than myself, mostly doctors, I found myself back at a "crossroad" of sorts to really allow myself to not only look back at what once was but be able to go back and find where it went and uncover it all for others to see, AGAIN! Turned out that it had never gone anywhere it was here all along. It had been smothered by the the stress' of our daily routine that we all go through on a daily basis. But yet we don't realize that it is this seemingly normal routine that makes our seemingly invisible clock sometimes slip by unknowingly and that it is how the sand burries you're original path in life. It is when you realize this that you are way off course from the original road you intended to set out on. So in effect it is now time for the preverbial "U" turn of life. To go back and reclaim what has laid long forgotten and unpolished.
