It's not my usual genre -- these days, I'm mostly into Lindsey Sterling, Epic Soul Factory, and P!nk -- but it's very interesting.

Your music reminds me of Nine Inch Nails (I went through a huge Nine Inch Nails phase in high school) but slowed down and then mixed with a dreamy New Age sort of sound. But even that isn't a great description because I've never really heard anything like your music before.

So, congrats on being unique in a world full of formulaic crap!

I assume you're doing this on a computer because I'm pretty sure some of those sounds can't be achieved naturally.

How much variety in "instruments" does your software have? I've sometimes wondered about attempting to create electronic music, but with a lot more "violins" than found in typical electronica. I'm probably too old to learn to play a real violin but if there's software that can replicate that sound...

I'm in the market for new local friends if you ever want to hang out. I recently moved back after being gone for 20 years, and almost all my old Seattle friends have moved to the suburbs or even farther away. You know what a pain it is to go anywhere -- I like to joke that "Escape from Capitol Hill" is an open-world RPG but the pathing is a bitch -- so it would be nice to know more people who live nearby.

Thanks for checking it out! Do you know bandcamp? My newer album is on there, and I sample NIN on one of the songs, you may recognize it.

I tried to sound unique, probably to a fault. And yes I assembled everything on a computer. That’s me singing and playing guitar in my living room though. No auto tune. Much of the weird computer noises you hear are feedback noises. And I programmed the drums and add some samples. When it comes to instruments, I mostly use software to put it all together, not really to make sounds/imitate instruments. Unless you count the drum machines.
