I think you can pretty much tell that by my interests and musical taste. In case it isn't obvious, I play bass for Portland's greatest rock/alternative band ever: Trick Sensei. Check us out and buy our album. Try it... you'll like it.
Personally, I am the sort of person that always has an opinion. I am honest. Some times painfully so. Don't take it personally, it is just the way I am. I don't do ANYTHING unless I am going to put 150% into it - my rule of thumb is "if it isn't worth doing right, it isn't worth doing at all." Despite of all that, people tell me that I am a pretty nice guy.
I also write a great deal. Some of which has been published into books, and much of which deals with religion, mythology, the occult and magick. I am also an Apostolic Bishop. Having said that, this is important: This page is where I indulge in my love of playing musick. You might find my esoteric writings here, but I don't intend on using this medium to argue or debate magick, philosophy, religion or ethics. I have a Livejournal account for that. Thanks. I appreciate the understanding. If you'd like a sample of what I am talking about you should check out Reemergent Gnostic Zeitgeist
If you'd like to hear a sample of the music I am writing for an ambient/goth/experimental project, please check out:
If you want finely crafted instruments at a really good price, these people have an amazing product:
Who I'd like to meet: Other musicians my age. Particularly musicians that like to explore intense, progressive music and invoke an emotional response from their audience.
I'd like to meet Ozzy and Sharon Obsbourne so I could shake both of their hands.
I'd like to have coffee with Pete Trewavas from Marillion; Billy Sheehan from Talas; Roger Waters from Pink Floyd; Justin Chancellor of Tool, and Simon Gallup of The Cure.
Thank you for the add. I hope you enjoy my music and if you do I'll be playing at Mississippi Pizza Pub in Portland on December 8th at 7pm. I'd love to see you there. It's all ages and no cover so if you know anyone that would be interested in going, please let them know. Either way, THANK YOU for your support and have a great week.
in 2012 our world will change positively for the human mankind!
drink clear water. breath deep and slowly. go outside and enjoy the nature. don't trust your ego - trust your fellings. follow your dreams. beware of illusions. if you do this i promise you: your life will change the best way!
kind regards! wolfgang
