Jabberwocky

January 15, 2006





*Name: Jabberwocky

*Are there any additional names used to describe this project: No

*Members: Just me, but I have collaborated with different artists in different projects.

*Tape manipulations, digital deconstructions or turntable creations: tape manipulations at the beginning when I was using cassette as my expressive medium but now I guess I'd consider it digital deconstruction. But now I feel that I've moved on from that with my new CD "Eat S*** & Die" which is an audio collage concept album.

*Is there a story behind your name? I was stoned and was watching a crap movie called After Alice that had a serial killer character named Jabberwocky and I thought it fit good with what I was wanting to create.

*Location: I live in a very small town called Charlotte Court House, in south central Virginia. I also run a small experimental/outsider arts venue down here called The Noisehouse/434 Noise.

*Original Location: I'm originally from Stafford (next to Quantico/Manasass) which is in Northern Virginia.

*What is your creative/artistic background: I used to write short stories as a kid. I started writing poetry/songs when I was 15 (1990) but have had writers block for at least 7 years now.

*History: I started an ambient project back in 1996 called Acid Roundtrip and have put out 2 releases. I've been active with Jabberwocky since 2002 and have put out 6 releases. I have a free form/improv experimental project that I do with Lee Mattox called The Zit Hit Machine. We also use the revolving door method with that because it gives us the freedom to work with alot of different people and constantly changes and constantly evolves.

*Born: February 27, 1975

*Motivations: Cause it's fun. I live for making music.

*Philosophy: Always give 110 % and put your heart, soul and emotion into making music/art. Be true to yourself and f*** the naysayers who doubt you.

*How would you like to be remembered: That what I've done was different and that I was proof of how far anybody can take DIY with the various things that I do. Sorry if it seems like an ego trip.
