Jaded raver & metal kid from Houston, Texas from the late 90s-2000s. Major influences in MUSIC would have to be Paul Oakenfold, Max Graham, Slipknot, Chemical Brothers, Digweed, SBTRKT, Aphex Twins, Prodigy, ICP, Korn, Felix da Housecat, UGK, Godsmack, DJ Pollywog, Ghostmane/Suicide Boys, and Aphrodite (amongst many many others). I decided years back to live a quieter and more simple life, so I packed up, left the city, and moved out to the country side in Texas and began an organic and pasture raised poultry farm. Living to feed the soul, I can focus on the joys of living with closer to genuine appreciation for life through creativity. Art and Music has been a passion of mine, my whole life; as I am classically trained in piano and cello. However, through musical ear, I have picked up many other instruments, like the guitar and drums for example. As far as production, I have always had a love for electronic music, for it can be manipulated in a way no other instrument can (in my opinion) to bring out how I feel in that current state of being and imagination. Each song, wether those like or understand it, is it’s own journey, emotion, story, and or feeling I want the listener or just myself to feel. I hope you enjoy.

A.J. Kaufmann—wandering bard of Poznań, sonic druid of the cassette realm. Born under a vinyl moon during a lo-fi storm, raised by spectral mixtapes and surreal dreams. He’s conjured 200+ albums while debating invisible muses and sipping metaphor tea. Writes like a mystic, sings like a caffeinated oracle. May or may not be part mushroom. Proceed with headphones.

Composer, performer and producer, my influences are eclectic, among them: Talking Heads, Depeche Mode, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Prince, Aphex Twin, Beirut, RadioHead, Daft Punk, Vampire Week-End, Tony Allen, Joy Division, Kamixlo, Baby Metal, DJ Hell, Cypress Hill, AC/DC, The Raconteurs, SantiGold, Tom Morello, Mozart, J.S. Bach, The Kills, Fugazi, Helmet, Hendrix, Mad Season, QOTSA, Charlie Parker, Coltrane, Miles Davis, Cesaria Evora, Stromae... and so many others.

Raw sounds are what I like most, and I prefer focusing on the vibration produced by the interweaving of complementary melodies rather than adding spectacular effects.
I have been a guitarist and singer in several rock bands. Meeting the audience in concert with my friends was exhilarating, but I had long wanted to lead a personal project.
All composition ideas in this project came to me while walking, a discipline that I am passionate about. City, Forest, Mountain, everything that can be walked makes me want to put one foot in front of the other.
I am pleased to present this project that could be classified in the Electro-Pop category, although some metal, ambient, Jazz or Funk colors frequently come to it, with measure but enthusiasm. I leave you to judge the consistency of the whole and the category in which you would like to put it.
Welcome to my world of walking musician, hoping to discover some interesting landscapes along the way.

I will sing at some point but this is the next step. I'll focus on creating music for now.

Good listening.
