Welcome To This State

based in Atlanta, Georgia and the Atlantic Coastal Area
cross-genre germinations, recent transitions inspired by record scrapping for acid house and early industrial from Wax n Facts

I wouldn;t be here if not for the diligence and patience of my friends
Michael Rosenfeld, Mariah Johnson, Parath Sharma and Esar Tehrani, not to mention Michael Person (Two-Hour Drive), and my dear friend Anita have been in and out of recording space with me for the past few years...we take thiscraft to be the manifestation of outlets and others' brilliance...and so we return to music, somehow...it never fails 

and due to my love of electronically infused drums and melodies...I will be pursuing dance music and particularly minimalist/ambient/sampled & synthesized (toned-in as well as amb`cathartic) for a good deal of my future endeavors...it just seems like the most logical way to go

just having the time of my life, killing' em with thee kindness

The Secret Smoke Shop is the dark little corner of the web for me to share pieces of vibrations and frequencies. Currently I have been using it to share Live Modular Jams as I travel down the Eurorack wormhole. SSS is not a live act but more like a radio station. Mostly dark-ritual-ambient-industrial-noise with rhythmic beats and rhythms but may also include at times nonsensical jam sessions with friends. Sometimes testing idea's for the bands and other projects I work with. Or just old music from my past thats finally been digitalized. In the different tracks on here we use a lot of live instrumentation with drums electric/acoustic or hand crafted loops, hardware synths and vst's, guitars, various uses of non musical related objets, field recordings, and almost anything that seems to take an interest in others and myself into making music/noise/whatever. Never solely focusing everything into one idea but rather incorporating an array of options, emotions, and concepts. Certain things should never be momentary. These are the things that should last a life time.
