My death-metal band Mandatory Bowel Evacuation broke up, and some of us became a noise band called Projectile Diarrhea, named after our favorite tropical disease symptom. I got thrown out because I refused to play banjo, and went solo.
*Tape manipulations, digital deconstructions or turntable creations: digital de/constructions
*Another genre descriptor: Some of my stuff is "graffiti" music - like a graffiti artist spray-paints his own art over someone else's property, I play original music over instrumental mixes, karaoke tapes, etc.
*Location: North Hollywood, CA
*Original Location: My mommy's tummy.
*What is your creative/artistic background: Er...I don't think I have one...just been making music at home for my own amusement since - oh, I see that's the next question.
*History: Right, as I was saying, been making music at home since, well, since I was a kid - still have a tape from the '80s I made placing an acapella version of Nico singing "All Tomorrow's Parties" over an instrumental passage from one of my little brothers' Iron Maiden records. No, I won't post it. But I do have a track on my website called "Everybody Breakdance With Me!!" that I recorded around '92.
*Born: Hollywood! Or, should I say H!O!L!L!Y!W!O!O!D!
*Motivations: Someone told me this would be a good way to meet Pam Dawber.
*Philosophy: Gee, I dunno...I do it 'cause I enjoy it...it's kinda like asking me what's the philosophy behind my masturbating.
