Short Write up- 2005-2007

SketcH also currently in the process of writing 3 new albums this year "A Godless Machine" (self titled Record). Another band I am working with is Due Called "Transparent Chaos" Featuring Ryan Kelly a very focused on Guitarist from Tom Merrello Of R.A.T.M.and Audioslave , right now because we are more focused on the music than the name of the record name. I am Currently living in Oregon, I write nonstop,all day Everyday.




2008- Short write up

Currently these days i have done alot of work with Alot of bands Among these lines and fields in music such as R&B, Punk,Metal,Nu-Jazz,Funk,Industrial/ Ambient/Noise-EFX-To Movie Scoring but iIm a Musician or Person that Doesn't Like Getting pegged to One Genre. I think Being in just one Genre is a Falt For Creativity its Always In Perfection it Blend and Create What is New instead of Fallowing one Fallowing of Ones Perception in ones State of Ability And Creative Ability(s).Open your mind up to all Creative Aspects in Every Genre of music,the more you expand out.the better of artist you will become.

2008-Short Article-

SketcH Is Known for a Very Unique Way of Triggering Concepts , how he Step forwards Away from Everyone else. and Creates a different form or Ways About Electronic drumming,his Focus's Don't really have a Concept of the Drums or considering it as a one way Instrument. his Work is being known for a "Non Traditional Drummer", he Fallows to No One,looks to no one,SketcH really doesn't consider himself as a drummer/or Percussionist, He Considers to be a music Impressionist of an artist of many Art forms.almost such as a Programmable piece of Art. with the Quick witted Drum Machine Hand and Feet Manipulations. SketcH is most likely one the Most Synthetic Drummers you will Ever Meet in your Life His focus has to do Alot of Advanced Neo-Futuristic Elements that are taking Away right now. to Drummers His Stage "Visuals" capture Many different Types of Fans .SketcH is all about dynamics featured in the music, he can keep it to the Grove, and when the time comes, SketcH can "Hit the Drums To make them Buckle on Impact" .from the Double kicking Metal Heads,to the Quick handed Of the Industrial/Drum&bass Field.with a little clash of Orchestral-Drum line Chops.a drummer you should Really go to the Show and See.
