I took a 4 year Hiatus from 2014 to 2018. But........
Daametrius(Gio Mage) is a gift from GOD.  He supports and loves everyones music.  DAAMETRIUS was sent to make music that will raise your vibrations and vibrate a natural process of thought.  The mission is to clean the earth and teach humans how to respect their neighbors.  In me resides an avatar which is a very very ancient old soul.  My music will teach you how to appreciate beauty, to walk with empathy, to love to think before you act and to be confident in expressing yourself anyway.  At times I will challenge you to look into the taboo and supernatural side of life.    I AM DAAMETRIUS

the PERSON, the SOUND : Since 1985, Philadelphia-born Michael has composed and released hundreds of audio recordings, and published dozens of [erotic] poems.

His 'sonic-sojourn' began suddenly when he was just a teen -- feet splashing rhythmically through puddles leftover by a seaside rainstorm. Having just parted ways with the then-love-of-his-life, Michael composed his first ballad [and first song] ever -- "Tina." He rushed to his beach-side home to record his visceral 'awakening' on a tiny micro-cassette recorder, and vowed -- from that day on -- to create art for the rest of his life.

He began zealously amassing used music equipment, and had built a modest home recording studio by age seventeen, all the while crafting simple pop, ambient, and experimental works that HE had wanted to listen to -- that HE had wanted to hear, affectionately emulating the works of his then-idols, Duran Duran and Brian Eno.

Now, decades later, he has relocated to a small village outside Atlanta, Georgia, and continues to voraciously attend to his dream as a young, heartbroken boy -- to create and release music that he, himself, wants to hear.

Although no longer sequestered to pop and ambient musics, Michael's signature sound has merged the two, having integrated the R&B, hiphop, and psychedelia he has grown to love as a older gent -- having absorbed the edgy rhythms and dreamy soul of the southern United States (Atlanta and Miami).

Michael still puts forth ample amounts af ambient musics, but his recent 'sound' hovers elsewhere -- somewhere amidst the genres of vaportrap, spacerock, and trip-hop.

I am a sound artist/composer of acousmatic or electroacoustic music/musique concrète and a dj of dark industrial techno music (https://www.mixcloud.com/rbhuysmans/). In essence, I compose by listening. My music is expressionistic and it is often described as narrative and visually evocative. My interests are new, as yet unheard electronic sounds and textures, field recordings, sound art, combining electronic music with acoustic instruments, as well as projects with artists from other fields. In collaborations, I am looking for synergy and mutual enrichment and I want to learn new approaches and concepts. I have had the pleasure to work with other musicians (organ, percussion), performance artists of experimental dance (Butoh), video artists, fashion designers, and visual artists (painting, sculpture). Besides developing these interests further, I am looking forward to new as yet unknown areas to discover with my music.
