Currently it is just me, the Wandering Yeti.
I play fretless bass, acoustic and electric guitar, flutes with holes-not-keys, hand percussion, keyboards, voice, sound effects, loops and aural environments. If I were a Hindu deity I might have enough arms to do this all at once. Alas, I am but a single yeti.
Therefore I'm seeking co-conspirators. Voice, bass and keys are the instruments I'm best equipped to play live right now. I'm working on some more drum oriented songs that will be suitable for live performance. The ambience will be used as a spice instead of the main dish. The Rock returns. I aim to have 4 songs recorded to give you an idea where this project is headed by the Aries Equinox. Stay tuned.

The Ascension Conspiracy aims to advance the evolution and assist in the healing of the human animal through the media of sound and light. The music is designed to activate awareness of the pulsing throb of qi, orgone, prana, ki, baraka, juju, mojo, the Ineffable Groove, etc and introduce the human ego, really just a small program running around a tiny portion of the brain, to the animal body that is a universe unto itself, the Universe at large turned inside out.
Sounds collected as aural found objects are destroyed and resurrected in the computer's brain, voices exporing the full range of sounds a human can produce including but not limited to actual singing, musical instruments both designed as such and improvised from objects not intended to be used as musical instruments but produce lovely and/or interesting sounds when struck or blown upon combine to weave a sonic universe with which the attentive listener might deepen awareness of the Ineffable Groove. You're an animal. Get over it.
