...DID YOU KNOW? He spawned from the remote island of Guemes (somewhere in the misty San Juans.) The island boasts artists, infinite painters, and poets like Banjo Eddie and Phil McCracken- - - - Jettisoning on a little ferry boat to and fro the great mainland of Anacortes- - - -(Anacortes being home to artists such as Burl Ives and Phil Elverum.)
_____________________________________________________
Armed with a solitary mind he spent many years dreaming. Studying music with his folk-singing-mother and concert-pianist-grandmother...Showing him the secrets to "Sufism", "The breath of fire", "how to keep young/stay in the now." His grandmother had a collection of strange instruments from her worldly travels -inspiration for his eclectic compositions.
_____________________________________________________
The folks were hippies. Ty's father became a philosophy/logic professor; educating many associations. After parental separation his mother re-located to Guemes. She studied "indigenous beliefs" and the "Newer Age of Older Aged History" -actively involved in protecting the world and all of her inhabitants.
_____________________________________________________
He began fooling with musical compositions at about six or seven. Poetry, theater, the beach, cliffs at night, flying saucers, spirit quests, ghostly apparitions (the usual) all formed a mold of the strange little man.
_____________________________________________________
At 13 he deported to live with dad from becoming troublesome in the beautiful isolation of an island. He learned new things (social engagements/"mature" subjects) living out his teenage years 30 miles south of Seattle. On Lake Tapps he grew. He wrestled with gods...and demons.
_____________________________________________________
He started playing guitar at 16. Out of the blue the sound brought tears to his eyes. He strummed, loved, and had sex with his guitar. His friends and family encouraged his passions, allowing him to rehearse in "The Cabin". It was here that he acted/wrote/collaborated and got high with sidekick (artist/Director: Slick 13's) Brian Guihan. They changed history for a while...
_____________________________________________________
Ty was lead guitarist for The Opposing Thumbs, a Tacoma retro-rock band. After a year or so they disbanded. The other members went on to become a well known band "The Church Of Hate." Meanwhile he recorded funny songs with longtime friend Casey- who became a huge help in musical "start-up".
_____________________________________________________
He found himself with a wonderful group of old/new friends living in Seattle; recording music in the basement of a cool house. Tyler was lead guitarist (with a wisend ear for experimental effects). This collective: Chris Ezell, Pete Capponi, and Jeremy Dekoker. They lost all recordings due to a strange occurance involving magic mushrooms, a Tibetan monk, and the CIA. The rest must remain classified (for atleast 35 more years.) NSA Policy No. 18-7324*5.
_____________________________________________________
His step-cousin played Jesus in "The Passion of the Christ" and Tyler became the "Black Sheep" of the family. He met fellow cohort Adam Sonnet. They began filming and making music, creating "Organic Guerrilla". Adam became a wizard at film, editing with mastery...Tyler bought a 16-track digital studio and began recording all their works...
_____________________________________________________
OG Productions had over 16 episodes. Demos, ep's, singles, and albums spanning different genres (such as spacerock, wizard rock, gyspsie-folk, rap, electro-funk, disco goth, and tropical mai-tai tunes.) It was a collective that included different commrades from their friends extravaganza! (Jason Cramer (aka. DJ-66), Jeremy Dekoker, Shawn Armstrong, Steve Baker, and David Munose.)
_____________________________________________________
*UPDATE*
Adam met and married an incredible women named Elle (Brittany) and OG merged to become Sonnet Realm Films. They work in all kinds of professional filmaking and have projects in the Seattle area. Tyler is currently involved in an upcoming movie about wizardry with Sonnet Realm Films...

So this extra vehicular profile is Tyler Clausen's solo projects; things he's been making over the last few years......
