Everything comes from nothing
Everything becomes nothing
As I inhale
And exhale
Underneath cloudy skies
Above night skies
Reborn genesis denied
Crowned with thorns
Until the moment
The earth is without form and void

a lot of my music ends up being like... really abstract and never finished.

i did, however, make a cd of "meditation music" for my ap english final that could be considered ambient. for the most part it's a lot of field samples combined with different little melodies i made. you could check that out.

i'm sure ill fit in fine. 

and btw, this page is basically dedicated to hiphop instrumentals (the only way people will notice you in milwaukee). i make a lot of other types of music though. downtempo, baltimore club, ambient, glitch, experimental, etc.

*cough* oh yea of course I've been practicing....I'm practically fluent now! Errr...i just get easily distracted ya know...so it might look like i've forgotten everything, but it's just because my mind is elsewhere, honest! *cough* lol. I still remember how to sign 'my name', that's a handy start lol, not sure about the rest. As for work Im still workin at the same ole, same ole, but im also making some extra money taking these surveys things online; you should give em a try; i mean, hey, the extra money comes in handy, right? i guess you'll have to type the link into internet explorer or whatever, but here it is:

, shame I wouldn't have minded staying there till something more appropriate came along, but I don't have that option now heh.

I belief in
artgeneering...

the artist is only a medium,connected to the spirits around him-

translating vibes into symbolic shapes to reinitialize the ancient way
of using language...

the way of light and color...

without the disguise of words,right through the passage of our eyes...

to reach hearts and souls without taking the intelectual loop way...

natural formulas in an unnatural world...pure and uncensored...

awakening the visiual awareness, the centre of our inner universe...

to let it shine in the way it has allways been before these annoying
times,

that keep us away from our natural mission...

to stay connected with our great mother earth and her deep spirit of
freedom and peace...

we have to regain our nearly lost nativeness,

to stop this wheel of opression and iniquity that haunts our world and
our hearts...it's time for the rainbow warriors :-)

those new tracks are cool. I like the (slow) free-jazz feel in "let's not burn them down".
"This time you've got what's coming" has a pretty melancholic quality to it.

As you may or may not already know, in January of 2009, I am embarking on a two month tour with a friend, Al, of the project My Cell Phone Is Better Than Your Cell Phone (http://www. myspace. com/mycellphoneisbetter).
This tour will span the entire length of the United States. We are travelling by Greyhound busline. It will begin January 8th in New York and end March 3rd in Michigan. I was going to wait until the entire schedule was completely done, but as people have been procrastinating, I figured now is as good a time as any.
The majority of these shows are free, but as we do not have complete control over such things all of the time, specific shows are charged at the door, though they are very few. Regardless, any donations along the way are more than appreciated, as we are doing this completely independently and out of our pockets.
We will be busking at various points on the tour, recording all over the place, and have many things for purchase, to help us eat along the way.

You can read much more detailed information, including that of merchandise and many other things, in this Blog.


Please check there, to see if we are coming to a city/state/theatre near you.

I apologise if you already full well know about this tour, or if you aren’t in the United States, as this is a mass comment.
Come out to a show, have fun, mope around, get intoxicated and take off your clothes while running into a snow drift. Whatever floats your Winnebago.
If you can’t come out to a show, make sure every person you know comes to a show. We might forgive you then. If not, expect a three AM house visit.
Thank you.

There is no at all you who cannot do can do. There is no at all you who cannot sing can sing. It is meant because is everywhere in case of the place it is, it is, it is. That is easy.
