Odd name for a blog? Well, this is
what you’ll find in the artist column if you find my work. This name is
actually my Xbox live name, I couldn’t think of anything better, so yeah it’s
kind of an odd name. Right now It’s just me as a solo artist, not much I can do
about that right now due to high school, but someday I’m hoping I can get my
friends to join me in my quest to blow the musical genius out of the heads of
everyone who listens to me. What I’m trying to do with my music is to
incorporate electronic music with alternative rock and ambient music to get a
feel of the story I’m trying to tell in my work. I was heavily influenced by
Coheed and Cambria for my direction among other artists like Daft Punk, Job for
a Cowboy, Pink Floyd, and many others, however, Coheed and Cambria are my all-time
biggest influence. After hearing their music for the first time I was
completely awestruck by the vocals and the tone of their music, so I did some
research and found their music being linked to a graphic novel series known as
the Amory Wars. I had never thought of a book or comic being the whole focus on
an album, so after thinking about it, I thought why not try it out on my own
stories. So I immediately started writing and came down to an idea for a sci-fi
universe of my own. I wanted a story that would be compelling toward a number
of audiences, especially teens. Basically what I have come up with involves
real life scenarios like lost love, rape, war, and suicide attempt. This novels
mood was influenced heavily on The Broken by Coheed and Cambria (no surprise
there) and ended up being the name of the novel series as well. As of now the
novel is still in its early stages of writing, but come time for spring break,
I’ll have plenty of time to work on it. The idea for the story is all completed;
I just need to actually write it. At best the book should be done by the end of
this year I hope, but I will be posting the progress of the book as it comes
along. The cool thing is that this is just the first novel in the series, the
other novels will come soon, and albums will be coming with those too. Anyway,
not only will you get updates on the novel, but you’ll also get short stories
posted on the site along with mp3s for them. Bear in mind that these stories
are all related to the same universe as in the novel series. Check from time to
time and I’m sure I’ll have some new story or song or even both up from time to
time. Hope you guys enjoy it and spread the word if you do.
