Back in the studio working on new material for my synthwave project Perfect Female Type! This one’s inspired by video game music from the early 90s. I’m using more PCM synths like the Korg M1.

Got a brand new release from my abstract vaportek side project Timewitch! Available on Bandcamp now.
Happy Halloween 2023! 🎃

I have lots of experience unsuccessfully (very unsuccessfully) releasing music on my own and through digital distribution services. Even if I played the social media game of generating regular content for this platform or that, nothing seemed to get my numbers out of the single-digit ghetto.

Check out this video for the song Tension by my industrial band The Seven Whores of the Apocalypse!
From our 2023 album All Through the Waste.
Yes, you should probably move to Minneapolis.
That was easy, wasn’t it?
I hate to say this, because I don’t want everyone to find out how good we have it here and make our bad traffic even worse. But yes, it’s awesome, and yes, you should probably move here.
