About Me |
|
| One year ago to the day, three avid sound explorers converged upon an abandoned Gelato stand for a purpose. That purpose was never revealed to anyone until a recent experience with Kurt Vonnegut via ink shapes on tree pulp. Huddling closely to feed on each other’s life-giving vibrations, they realized that they may be better suited for another environment altogether. Voice, guitar, bass guitar, drums, cymbals, and keyboards are the primitive tools used to shape this new locale, known as Caves of Mercury. (I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4) | |
