The Book Of Traps And Lessons

Holy Elixir

Introduced to music young, learned multiple instruments. Studied Audio Technology at AIM, aced electronic music production. March '99 I kicked off SpinFiX: a digital 4trk, 2 guitars, keys, drum samples, a mic'd up MD, a $10 mic for vox, a built-in synth. Experimental, built on limitations and tricks, forward motion and no way back. 1st 3 years gained airplay on JJJ and RN under 3 other names, a mention of 23krecords, and a moment on ABC TV. In '02 silenced by mental illness, later my father's death, followed by 3yrs of nothingness. A move north. Restarted on a 16trk under SPiNFiX. Studied music industry business twice. Quit drugs 28/12/08. 1st 6months of '09 living in a psyche-ward, a detox and med' overhaul for my mental health. Since '11, been designing and operating sound & lights for a live theatre, in '16 I became their tech manager. '18 I released a spoken/indietronica album 'intangible brightness'. '19 now using recording software. Currently working on a new album.

As a kid, dad's "New German Wave" records fascinated me a lot. That still has an effect today. Experimental synthesizer sounds are my second love. I discovered Punk in my early teen years and Rap has always been very important to me. Through this influence i am constantly on the search for vocals in electronic music. Genres don't mean a lot to me. They only interest me because it is easier to find things with knowledge. Searching and discovering are as much important to me as the listening. The way is the goal.
