That I have music and whatnot on bandcamp… By clicking on the ‘Buy Digital Discography’ link on any of my individual album/track pages, you can purchase your own digital copies of my recorded output (well, the stuff that is on bandcamp) for about eleven bucks. And, since it’s bandcamp, you can listen and listen away before [...]

Sometimes the equipment doesn't work the way it is supposed to. Sometimes that makes things more interesting. There's also a video… (28 April 2014)

A piece from my first year of creating my own music. I've always felt this had a bit of a YMO (Yellow Magic Orchestra) feel to it, though it's considerably more primitive. (24 April 2014)

This piece was also my contribution to the Mind/Body 3 compilation CD; it appeared on the 'Mind' disc. I wasn't really sure whether or not 'No escape from time' qualified as industrial music (important because the compilation originated with the rec.music.industrial Usenet group), but I submitted it anyway. Or, rather, I submitted this version—the original was [...]

Though it sounds like such a terribly self-important thing to say, Meditations on the Inescapable Self is my great lost work. In September 1997, almost as an afterthought, I had scribbled the words 'The inescapable self' on the j-card of a mixtape. The phrase stuck with me; for some reason, I found it incredibly profound. Not that [...]

In November 1994, the Tinty Music CD (Weightlessness: Of Contemplation and Distraction) that had been so many months in the making was finally done. The end result wasn't exactly what I had envisioned when I started the project, but it was something that I felt good about putting out into the world. It ended up being [...]
