thanks, basically I ventured out in my musical listening interests early on, and decided to create my own stuff.

I grew up around mainstream music (mid 1990s), however right that the end of high school I connected deeply into the black metal scene, I never learned to play an instrument properly but it kept my interest after realizing underground music was real, underground occult music was an alternative to the alternative. I discovered Burzum, and noticed all the black metal albums at the time ended with a dark ambient track to conclude the album, this was very very interesting music to me, then I found traditional dark ambient musicians like Lustmord and Lull and Robert Rich.

I ventured into dark ambient in terms of being a listener first, then into noise music as my tastes became more extreme and my mind more insane at the time. That mixes with industrial a little bit but really that is another movement in music. The noise / dark ambient genre is what I like and decided to create dark ambient and then venture out to noise, I'm trying to fuse dark ambient, black metal in noise in my next album. I met some of the best names in noise and dark ambient in NYC where I live, never played live, as I don't know how to play properly, I basically paint with sound using a multitrack and post processing.

Good multitrack is a program called "audacity" nowadays, back in the day there were a few apps for Windows 95/98 which I used, all I needed was to lay down a track and play it back while hearing what I recorded and add in another track, basically layer them, then process with effects using the computer (if you've noticed I like reverb :)

I have a 8 track mixer and have that hooked up into the line in on an external sound card at the moment. Some of my albums just used the sound card in the various computers I went through (about 15-20 computers so far). Very low budget way to get the sound recorded, and processed but it works for me as I just want to create, not become a real musician who has to do it for a job or even charge money for wanting to listen.

I appreciate the kind words. If you want to check out a dark ambient podcast I am on check out this link, I was pleased to know I was on a podcast, after the fact as my music is open source by design :)
