I hold originality and solid melodic construction above all else.

  • Movies

    The Godfather movies, Dune, Lost Highway, Mullholland Drive, The Machinist, Memento, Evil Dead series (the best B movie series made IMHO), almost any mafia movie. I'm in love with Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

    Pretty much any Tarantino, Lynch, or Cronenberg flick. Especially Lynch and Cronenberg who are my favorite two directors.
    I love films, but I hate 99.9% of television.

    Currently watching Fringe, Heroes, Dexter and True Blood. That's about it for TV, I try not to watch anything else.
    I abhor reality TV but wouldn't be opposed to starring in my own show.

    Some of my favorite authors: Jean Baudrillard, Clive Barker, William S. Burroughs, Philip K. Dick, Robert Greene, Jakusho Kwong, Niccolò Machiavelli, Friedrich Nietzsche, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Neil Strauss, Sun Tzu, Leo Tolstoy, Oscar Wilde

  • Heroes

    My parents.
    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Yi Soon shin. Those with the ambition to make more of themselves.

About me:

I write and produce music.
I also help run an independent record label. After a stint of living in New York City I've moved back to my adopted hometown of Denver. East Coast living was not for me. Fiercely independent, quick witted, and contemptuous I dislike most people. Fortunately, I realize the necessity of accepting those I don't necessarily respect. Everyone has a purpose is this world.

I'm the main music writer behind a few bands, past and present. I've also been busy writing music for some independent films and tv.

The album for Divine Reich is complete! I wrote the music and produced the album. Pick it up today.

Divine Reich: An American Tragedy

Royal Dead's new album is out now too, I mixed and produced it for them.

I'm also continuing to do remixes and film and tv instrumental work.

Check my website for more information on my music and for contacting about business matters.

Who I'd like to meet:

Open-minded intelligent people who have quirky interests. Whatever you do, please don't be boring. If you're in a band, message me to check out your music. I have band adds disabled by default just to cut down on the amount of spammy adds that I get but I will add you if you talk to me.

People who can't think for themselves can harass someone else. I don't have to agree with your opinions/beliefs but you'd better have something to back them up with. I don't really care what scene you belong to, I don't believe in restricting myself to just one option.

I'm married to the wonderful Meltdown! Sorry boys and girls. If you have received a friend request from me it's because I'm networking, I'm not on here to "hook-up" with anyone.

Add requests/comments/messages..
Please read if you are writing me.
I do read them and I try to respond to them all but sometimes it's impossible for me to get to all of them. I do my best though and I appreciate all the compliments and kind words. It truely makes being an artist that much more rewarding knowing that people out there enjoy my music.

If you're going to promote your band/event/whatever in my comments, please don't do it every week.

My bands:
  • Deviant (2002-2006)
  • Divine Reich (2004-2007)
  • New project coming 2010


If you read this far down I'm impressed, most people on MySpace have short attention spans. Please add my record label's profile as well if you are adding me (myspace.com/kheperiglobalmedia). It would make me a happy like a lad in the girl's locker room.
If you are in band and want to add me or have me listen to your tracks, just message me.
My top friends are all friends from real life and I love them.
