To Your Ears From Mine

To your ears from mine, music.

My music journey began much earlier than my alone series or even most of the modern Hoolequin ideas. My music journey began in 1998 with a [then] new program called Acid. I played around with it but never devoted myself with any seriousness to it, but at the same time I couldn't just let it go either. It wasn't until 2005 that I truly began to revisit older works and revitalize what I could and make new elsewhere.

I had made several tracks, a couple albums worth, but there was no real direction or purpose. I had several prospective album titles I was working with as well, "For the Hoolequin In All of us," "Penciled-In Virtue," "The Underground Calm," and a few more. I eventually settled on "The Dissenting Corridors" due to my lack of cohesive style or message.

However, that all changed in early 2011. After two successful years with visual arts, I wanted to express a message that I simply couldn't with an Alone Series Piece and Combat was born. From February through September of 2011 I worked on an emotional 18 tracks to illustrate some of the feelings that a team of men go through in regards to the preparation, execution, and aftermath of armed conflict. I also made a concept-art CD telling the story in text as well, to go with the album.

I haven't stopped with Combat. There are now several sections for people to browse and enjoy.

My music is often abstract, moody, and abbreviated. I was bound to a three minute format by the rules of the contest I wanted to share my music with and it has stuck. Most tracks are at or around the three minute mark as well.
