I'm a writer and musician, a painter and a digital compositor. I make stuff, alot of stuff. When I'm not making stuff I'm drinking coffee and thinking of more stuff to make.
i make lots of music with a couple of projects:
The Wretch - chaotic ambient/post-breakcore/analog malfunction and catharsis
Etherine - ambient melodic electronica, with a shoegaze touch
Ivilion- tribal darkambient
Sythilix - atmospheric EBM/industrial
darkfilter - synthpop

I'm not even remotely a good enough guitarist to warrant exploration of guitar synths or the like, but the tech behind this is really fascinating. Worth reading!

I have an irrational love for all things "shoegazer". I'm a huge fan of guitar noise, walls of completely destroyed fuzzed out guitar mixed with drummachines and barely audible vocals. Think My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, etc... I go through cycles, once a year …
