Artist description I utilize various instruments and employ many methods of playing these instruments to acheive the sounds produced. The works are composed by means of my own form of chance operations. I like to refer to this as "FRACTUS". The bases of " FRACTUS " are The I Ching, Fractal Geometry, and a gift given to me by J.B. McLaughlin, that is," Perfection is the bane of the ignorant." Under Photos, you can look over pages from my Illustrated Books, scenes from videos, and Fractus generated images. Comments and questions are always welcome. Let me know where you are from and what Archetype Productions can do to you.
