what city is nearest your present location
San Francisco is the one.
how does it compare to your hometown?
It has these similar intensities as Anchorage, I suppose. In Alaska if there's a show or someone to make music with you do not flake on them, cause that's it! Nothing else going on. In the Bay area though, people can be alot more flaky and selective about going to shows, making music, etc..because there's allways something to do here.
do you listen to a broad range of musics
I do indeed, yes. I like to listen to music in juxtaposed bursts. You know, making mix c.ds. of Frank Sinatra, Slayer, Miami bass/booty bass, Tiki lounge music, etc.. I notice this gives me the widest range of emotive response, inspiring strange beats and melodies to creep into my own musics.
have you ever gotten very sick
Yes indeed, I once ate a donut that apparently had been used to store and ship food poison cultures to millitary labs . The following day I began to regret my previous days decadence and immediately ran to the bathroom to tell the toilet bowl all about it. It was horrible because that was Halloween day and my wife and I had just bought expensive tickets to The Residents show for that night. I got sicker and sicker and could only stay at the show for 10 minutes. I still eat donuts.
how old do you hope to live to be
I am going to live on through my work, I figure. So if I can stay alive long enough to create as much music/art in this life and in essence, ensuring myself immortality, I'll be a happy Pucca. The early 20th century artist/occultist Austin Osman Spare touched on this idea alot with his paintings and in his writings.
what is/are your favorite food(s)
Pad Thai, ecclairs, cheese and wine.
on average, how long do you sleep at night
Six and a half hours. It too depends on if I talk in my sleep, if I'm saying really interesting stuff I'll totaly wake up to have a full conversation with myself, I usually end up talking my ear off and not getting but 4 hours of sleep.
do you write music in the dark or the day
Both early in the day and late at night, I feel more creatively focused at those times. Earlier in the day my songalings are all silly and cartoony, at night I tend to work on more dramatic, sound trackish, classical type musics.
how many days a week do you work
Nine days a week as a carnival barker, the other 3 days I'll often do pro bono work as a dog wrestler.
what is your favorite animal species
Spice worms. No...Bunny rabbits, big 6 foot rabbits that follow really nice, lonely old drunks around .
tap, bottled, well or rain water
Rain water is well if bottled then tapped on, bottling water taps rain water well, then again tapping rain is well if bottled.
who do you respect
My wife Mitten, my friends and myself. There are alot of people whos work and artistic/musical visions I greatly admire and respect, too long of a list though because there are alot of amazing people out there. Generally people with larger then life ideas and plans.
do you read about economics/politics?
if so, what good/bad do you see happening
I really enjoy Michael Moore's work as well as Noam Chomsky's. They both have this way of exposing the real deal deep down cthonic "TRUTH" of 'things', makes you feel scared and yet empowered. I feel that's what's up with things these days, kind of scary and yet the fact that information is available and its getting harder for political powers to go about unchecked is a good thing. People are rising up and keeping them in check, that makes me feel some hope for things to come.
how do you feel when you finish a song
High off of it really, proud too, I mean taking a song from conception to actualisation is a real accomplishment, dare I say,even an act of self deification. I must say, the feeling I get when I've finished a song is that I have in some way increased my presence on this earth, in some manner having become more then I was before my creation, even if in a minor way.
do you play your music live, dj, vj, ej, etc
I love playing live shows and end up putting alot of energy into the overall appearance and presentation of my show. Something I think is greatly missing in electronic music (shows) these days. I get all hyper and bounce around making funny faces and just get high on being able to freak the hell out for an hour..I tend to place alot of emphasis on creating a real visceral show, by way of various audience interaction devices I have up my sleeves, then on say, having tripped out visuals going on and being aloof and isolated from the audience. People like it when I talk to them even if what I'm saying is gibberish, it makes them feel more involved in the show. They like it when I spray silly string all over them, too.
airplane, train, car, bike, skateboard or feet
Feet.. I could use the excercise.
what is/are your favorite activit(y/ies)
I enjoy making lots of different types of musics. I write really short stories, thats big fave..Lets see here..I paint alot too- watercolors and ink pen is deliscious fun. I make big batches of soap every once awhile, too, I like that..hmm..I read alot too, thats one of my more favorite activities.
who would you make love to in a second
David Bowie. My wife. Myself, if I was cloned.
if you could live on the moon, would you ?
Probally not, I get really unreasonably afraid of moon dust and craters.Don't ask me why.
has anything weird ever happened to you
Yes..Many very weird things. The last ten years have beeen nothing but alien abductions. Alot of weird sensations and intuitive/ intelligence leaps in my evolution as an effect of various breathing and active meditation excercises.
Really weird synchronicities from getting into voodoo for a few years. Oh, heres something: Me and my friend Jynx are hanging out at his parents house in Alaska, when all of sudden I look out over the lake in his backyard and notice a huge vein crawling closer and closer to us. It was this huge free floating vein that apparently had no problem with us, it actually was on its way to the man who lived across the street. I think huge free floating veins have a thing for old men with cancer of the neck.
anything else
I am a gemini and 24 years old. I like to make silly silly music, hip hop beats, movie music and manic one man band music. I have another sillyscary c.d. coming out at about the end of 2003-entitled: 20 Terrifying Tunes for Luciferian Loons ... I like to trade c.d.s with other musicians, peoples should get ahold of me through my website so we can swap c.d.s. Or they can buy one,perhaps if they want.
People will find my short stories, soon to be published books, art workalings and tracks for my various monikers at the site for my label:: http://www.nonservitumarts.org
