Style of Music: the music I create tends to have an "emotional," or "nostalgic memory" feel to it, which I have been told, conjures up some sort of "Oh that reminds me of"..., or " I can picture a man lost at sea in a burgondy cowboy hat" kind of vibe, if you catch my meaning. However, My overall sound runs the gamut from soft (bell) type drones, to some of the most chaotic, beat oriented textures I've ever heard. I use only hardware instruments, which is rare nowadays. Reason being, I simply enjoy the hands on experience of hardware music and believe it stands out, (good, bad, or otherwise,) in the increasingly more popular, software based electronic music scene.

Goals: I think my main passion is the creation of music. I seem to be most content when recording a new track, or at the early stages of design when all is fresh and exciting. I suppose I look at music in the same way a painter might look at his work; a moments concept, or emotion, captured. And never duplicated.. I do, however, love playing live if I am excited about my material. I see myself as more of a recording musician than a touring act I think. So, my goal as a musician is to stay true to what excites me and to share it with others who may have similar taste.
A few comments on Revolution and the other musicians who play there: I haven't heard an artist play yet that didn't have some kind of flare, or integrity.. Everyone brings something new and different to the table and that's the beauty of electronics. The second you think you've made every classification possible on the medium, a child is born, finishes nursing, and joins the revolution.
What do you see in your musical future: I see myself having a name in music, probably not tip of everyone's tongue major, but someone that's got "that crazy album, Did you hear it?" kind of status. I would like to be known for having a unique sound as opposed to having the next big "dance" album. "Although, the ladies can still move to my shit" I just like a blend of all the things I find interesting and wherever that brings me can't be bad. I may end up releasing home recorded CD's from my bedroom and being perfectly happy.
What do you see for the future of music: The future of music is unforeseeable, depending on how far you want to look. I definitely think the electronic medium will flourish and evolve, but with the rate of technological growth and change of taste, who knows what kind of products and musicians are going to be out there in 30 or so years. Imagine playing Come to Daddy for The Mamas and the Papas.

What do you have to offer to "Revolution"? I believe I have a sound that
people are excited to hear, which grants me my place as an artist. As far as other forms of support, I think a broad variety of music is what will keep this thing going and with that comes a broad varity of people with different means. As part of this variety, I am willing to do whatever I can to keep things above water when circumstances allow. I have the capabilities of flyer design, and have a descent collection of people that are truly interested in this all as an artform, and trust my word of mouth.
Job choice 1 Flyer Design
Job choice 2 Help with setup/teardown (if I'm available)
Job choice 3 Running around detroit
