Diary Of A RivitHead: Wires & Deacy

I've been doing a lot of experiments with music since I was 11 or 12 (when I first started getting into a lot of different music), but I never really recorded anything until I was 15. My best friend and I decided to fuck with sounds and make some stuff. It was highly uncoordinated, It had almost no rhythm at all, lofi (cause we recorded everything from a $2 mic) and we used a sound recorder (the basic thing most computers come with) which made it even harder to layer it. But, I learned a lot of techniques that I use now. We made about 10 songs, all electronic and morphed to shit exception to two (one of which is lost), and we also wrote a story behind every song. We had plans for a second albums, the lyrics where written and the story was completed but sadly Insanaside died. My friend and I just stopped making music and then we had an idea of trying to bring it back and realized we've grown too far apart for any musical collisions.

While I was away from my life in Seattle, stuck in a government learning facility (Jobcorps), I ran into a few musical people. There was the welding shop where a few of the boys and me would randomly start banging on stuff and yelling across the room making beats with hammer and metal, singing slave songs and whatnot, fun stuff. Then I met a boy named Steven, he was a fan of the almighty TR. We got together and made an almost indie acoustic noise band, I have no talent on a guitar (I hate them because of that), and he is like a fucking wizard on the thing. We recorded a few songs on a tape deck and had a few things unrecorded. I had a lot of fun playing with him. The last I heard was he finally got our songs on a cd, and we need to hang out so I could get it and put some on my computer and other hard drives for savings.

It's been about a year since I've recorded any musical numbers, and I suddenly found my self in a situation where if I wanted to I could make a few things if I wanted to. So I grabbed a mic, a little kids toy that changes voices, a floor drum, my laptop, and an old untitled poem and started up a beat on the floor durm, used the mic to record it. I then grabbed the kids toy, with the toy, if you where to cover the part you speak in to with you thumb and change the voice back and forth you get this strange oscillating sequel without having to speak into it. Then after loping the drum and toy so it had a sum what structured yet chaotic beat I began to recite my poem aggressively and spoken word into the mic. It sounded like shit. decent, but lacking. and the mic was fucked so it only recorded one side.

Later on, about 2 months later I decided to try and put something together again, and it took me about 4 days (of actual work, a week to finish) to make an 8 track ep, and a 2 track single. In the ep I had a song slip up into 3 pieces each telling a different part to an event. I managed to work on the songs separately and yet as different as they all where they still managed to fit together as a single song for the single, I also did a second song for the single that wasn't on the ep. I'm currently in the making of artwork but all the music is finished. I felt so satisfied with the project, I sent the single to my old friend (insanaside) and it inspired her make some music again. So I'm very happy to say I finally got back into music. My music is always experimental and very noisish, I have somewhat of an aggrotech style but also a little bit of ebm or dance to it. As for the insparation for the music or even the ep alone, is from various of artist any where from NIN to VAC.
