Trend Setter is the very essence of my experimentation. A dark and recessive set of pieces
that intertwine musical elements and ideas that although odd, fit beautifully together to make sense of something almost entirely intangible...

The approach on this album is experimental, much unlike the “experimental” I tried to accomplish with Basic. Although Basic does have some very good tracks on it, the production value/quality is nothing close to what I hope to accomplish with Trend Setter. There is a more defined structure to the songs: some are minimized to only vocals and piano while others boast a more esoteric and shadowy string of elaborate chord progressions and melodies strangely tied together. It is no doubt just as “dark” as my other personal releases, but it is focused much more on the supernatural in the equation, the unconditioned side of my creativity.

It is not so experimental that it leaves the listener wondering what the hell is going, nor is it made for meditation or atmospheric effect. It contains lyrical and instrumental pieces, but both attempt to weave a vague and depth‐heavy story which is conveyed in a language of emotional intuition. Atmospheric effect is used to collaborate my ideas with my listeners, but the lyrics guide the song along and aid in its potential for self‐realization. Style or genre‐wise the album is a mix of gothic‐electronica, gothic folk, cabaret, and lounge pieces; A strange Tarsem Singh musical equivalent (as well as I can write and perform them).

Musically I am aiming for a minimalistic, eastern, and modal set of tracks. Whether I can achieve that goal is the question. I have attempted to refine this “form” of music many times and quite often without the ability to easily classify the material (another big reason I don’t take on independent artist projects anymore) and usually with disappointing results. Innately, my own productions strive for very complex harmonic patterns that work well only with atonal melodic movement. Some might see this as a very limiting venture (just as my music theory teacher used to tell me), but the often layered minor 11th, 9ths, and diminished 7th chords transcend into a very enlightening spectrum of human emotion.

It is also a challenge to write music in this manner. My own taste leans toward it, and my songwriting skills are always pushed to their limits when constructing a shape out of all the wandering styles and tonal centers. Anyway, that’s enough for now, be sure to stay on the lookout for new Trend Setter tracks. As usual, please be sure to leave me a review or rate the album by using the poll on this page. I like to know what my visitors think of these personal projects. Even if they don’t tailor to mainstream media, I still like to know what others think of these little creations.

Behind the Shades is an intimate project that aims to bring my own view of noumenon into the minds of my listeners. When I first planned the composing and tracking of the project's first few pieces, I told myself that it should be unlike any other project I have done. I told myself that honesty in art is beautiful and I wanted this album to be that honesty. So listeners can know that the words on this album are etched in my mind. This album truly represents my own personal artistic struggles.

Behind the Shades is an album like no other. It is a set of my personal works that delve on the fringes of the insane, the depraved, the immature, and the corrupt. It is all of these natures that the focus of the album lays it's thoughtful sounds upon. It is by no means as dark as the material set to be on Trendsetter, but Behind the Shades takes a relatively bleak stab at the visceral questions surrounding morality and intuition. There is probably no other album, that I have released, that is so acutely tangled in a specific set of ideas as this one. Listening to this album and reading the lyrics are not enough. To truly appreciate these tracks, one must turn off the lights and close their eyes; The music is made to paint something starkly antagonistic to the status quo, but so close to the human heart and is easily recognizable by someone looking for it.

Anonymia Pseudonym is my baby, pure and simple. It will be great!

If you were to take Black and Behind the Shades, smash them together, and then sprinkle on some concepts from The Darkness, you would get an idea of where I am going with this album. I am taking my time, ensuring the tracks and demos are of the best sound quality I can produce. One by one, each track will be as emotional and structured as Behind the Shades, with the added signature sound I used on Black. It is sure to be a beautiful set of tracks and it has become a project of obsession for me.

The most depraved and forsaken works I have ever promulgated and revealed, but by far some of the most earth shattering, emotional material I have ever produced.

Aphotic Transmissions is a "black light" album: dark and very abstract. Lyrically speaking, the motif is set on some of the worst of human experiences: loss, suffering, disenchantment, and a lack of direction. Some have commented that this album displays my more "insane" thoughts and structured approaches to songwriting. While I agree in some way, it is by no means as symbolic or "dark" as Behind the Shades. However, there is no lack of beauty in these "insane" words, nor is the insanely conjured, yet structured, music any less artistic, rather it is motivated by the beauty of the dark experience ... the figurative "Black Sun" or journey into the underworld. It was an album made to heal wounds, find reprieve, forget, and absolve from the static fringe boundary that borders on insanity and self‐reflection.
