Influences
I do quite a bit of reading. I prefer mostly science fiction, cyberpunk, and horror novels. These include authors like Clive Barker, Neil Gaiman, William Gibson, Bruce Sterling, Frank & Brian Herbert, H.P. Lovecraft, C.J. Cherryh, Anais Nin, Charles-Pierre Baudelaire, George Alec Effinger, Walter Jon Williams, Ray Bradbury, Robert A. Heinlein, Kathe Koja, and Brian Hodge. I also like to keep up on non-fiction that focuses on technology, communication, and music production.
I mostly listen to music i would deejay, with genres such as rhythmic power noise, electro fetish music, abstract industrial, electronic body music, dark ambient, batcave & death rock, european darkwave, ethereal, and musique concrete.

Front man and (formerly) sole member of INSEkT L0GIC, thee karkajou automaton, is yet another computer nerd with an outdated machine producing unique experimental sounds used to suggest movement, form, and emotion for your listening pleasure here on the internet. His music sets a definite mood which is very difficult to describe in words, and thee karkajou automaton, himself, has a very interesting perspective on what he is striving to accomplish through his work:
"One of the primary objectives of INSEkT L0GIC is to create music with multiple interpretations to allow the listener to find something new with each exposure. The concept is to look beyond what we are conditioned to believe and what we are conditioned to disbelieve. Instead, we are encouraged to 'think outside the box' of human experience and discover certain connections between ideas we would normally perceive as unrelated, contradictory, or alien."
"We begin to understand by studying the parts that influence each other in order to make up the entire composition, and the realization of the complete picture also affects the nature of the individual parts themselves. This self-perpetuating process allows the whole composition to constantly re-invent itself as an ever-evolving, artificial organism each time it is experienced by the audience."
Hello, and welcome to the show.
