Band Bio

This is a solo project of the "mushroom Gnome", the experimental, multi-instrumentalist from the Parliament of Owls.
He employs what he refers to as an "organically mechanic" approach to his art, utilizing found sounds and frequency modulation synthesis.

These experimentations will not sit well in the ear of the average listener.
But, in one who is willing to reach...and completely open their mind to the possibilities of sound and music, these works will be a neural revolution.
