ABOUT

Looking for musicians to collaborate with. I hail from central Indiana.

Also, I’m non-binary/transgenderqueer, a Marxist-Leninist, and an atheist. If that bothers you, feel free to look elsewhere. I will not tolerate transmisia, homomisia, racism, ableism, sexism, misogyny, classism, religious intolerance, or any form of bigotry, reactionism, etc.

My artistic project Walden’s Edge combines music, writing, art, philosophy, politics, and many other areas in a unique and creative way. I hope to form an artistic community with people contributing in these and many other areas.

I'm a fairly proficient clarinetist and an okay guitarist and bassist (and am currently learning the piano) and I've written quite a few songs, including lyrics, but unfortunately, my grasp on music composition is a bit more advanced than my current playing abilities, so virtually all of my music is digitally created, owing to hand-eye coordination issues related to being autistic and having dyspraxia. I also have cervical radiculopathy and degenerative arthritis of the cervical spine with cord compression, which both affect my ability to play an instrument due to sporadic loss of functionality in my arms and legs. I'm looking for harsh and clean vocalists, drummers, bassists, guitarists, and keyboardists. Other instrumentation and vocal styles also welcome.

Influences

I generally write prog metal-oriented music, with my newer music most heavily inspired by prog/tech death bands like Obscura, Gorod, Serdce, Cynic, Archspire, etc., but with more Marxist-Leninist-oriented lyrics inspired by Rage Against the Machine and System of a Down. All of my music (so far) is concept work related to currently developing poems and graphic novellas.
