Artist description I loathe having to place my songs in genres, because I don't think that art can be quantified. For the same reaon, I'm not too big on trying to describe to you my music in a few brief sentences. Just listen to it if you wanna know. Anywho... 'Tinnitus' is an ear condition where your ears won't stop ringing. I'm very frightened that i'm developing this condition, and so I named myself after it.

Instruments guitars, drums, bass, a lil piano, and lots of other things that will make a noise when I hit them.

Press Reviews I am very curious to know what other musicians and music appreciators think of my music. I, however, have absolutely no desire to know the opinion of a bunch of spineless yesmen who could give a shit about music, such as those upstanding citizens who make up this society's so-called press.
