I desire to create music alongside other people of like-mind and spirit. To be in service of music, and worship at it's altar with honest intent and integrity, with respect and dignity for the craft and artistry of music itself; in whatever manner it manifests. To utilize a quote that I hold dear to my heart:
"We believe we listen to music. How often do we realise that music is listening to us? Music so wishes to be heard that it endures and persists unendurable and impossible conditions in order to enter our world. But music, in its nature, is not permitted to shout: music is not allowed to drown out our babbling & our noise. So, it continues to present itself, available and willing, to the degree that we are able & willing to listen & hear; to the degree that we are able to bear to accept what is on offer. For this, we have to put aside all our demands, wants, expectations, rights & requirements, and be present to what is. So simple. So hard." - Robert Fripp
Though my primary mode of expression is that of extreme music, I am certainly interested in a multiplicity of expressions. I'm open to theory craft and discuss whatever options are at our disposal. My one condition is: I have very little interest in performing live or attempting any type of Capitalistic pipe-dream of money, labels, success and other such trivialities. The goal is music; first, foremost and final.

EQUIPMENT
B.C. Rich Deluxe Jr. V, B.C. Rich Deluxe Warbeast, Schecter Hellraiser C-8 FR, Ibanez U777, Ibanez Iceman 7-string, Ibanez BTB 5, Fender 89' Lyte Bass. I tune most of my guitars around B standard with a few exceptions: Iceman in Bb standard, UV777 is open cross-note tuning (G#,D#,G#,B,G#,B,D#}, and the BTB is in a sort of open F# tuning (F#, B, E, B, E).
I also own Cubase 11 pro and a Steinberg UR44. SM7B microphone, and various other recording tools. I have no experience recording music. These tools are meant to aid me in the learning process. Once I get to a comfortable place, with more experience and acquiring more invaluable software, I will begin to self-record all endeavours I am a part of.
