I am the singer songwriter, producer, audio engineer, bottle washer and tea maker for The Metaverse Project. Started back in the early 2000's with a synth and a copy of Reaper. Slowly the project expanded and now we're a duo, playing gigs and releasing albums.
It gives me a connection to something beyond myself that can't be named or defined, yet has a lasting and profound influence of how I feel and experience the world.
I don't know yet...

Probably the album by the Incredible String Band - The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter - There's nothing else like it, and if there is, then please let me know :)
Aimee Man, Air, Black rebel motorcycle club, Boards of Canada, Camel, Cocteau Twins, Jajouka, Ladytron, Mogwai, Natural Snow Buildings, Rothko, Spacemen 3, The Fall, The Flaming Lips, This Mortal Coil, Nick Cave, Pink Floyd, The Incredible String Band, David Bowie, Godspeed You Black Emperor, Goldfrapp, Neil Young, Iggy Pop, Siouxsie And The Banshees, Sonic Youth, The Cure, The Smiths, Yo La Tengo, I could go on...
I don't know what it is, but pretty much every other day I sit down and write something. I can't imagine life without creating music.

Before the gig, terrified. During the gig, transcendent. After the gig, elated !
I'll let you know after I've been here a while.
Carrying equipment to gigs on rainy days.
Try to go to see other local musicians play when I can.
No idea
