EYE SOCKET GENERAL
The framework of EYE SOCKET GENERAL was assembled within the month of May'96.

Creative ideas were then converted to analogue tape with the purchase of a second hand 4-track recorder, and the use of a basic keyboard(value of 200$), which was purchased years ago. Later on a drum machine, effect racks, and an upgraded keyboard helped the EYE SOCKET GENERAL project further progress into a multi-layered all-out soundscape.

Within a year, songs have ranged from haunting ambient pieces, white noise and avant-garde sound collages.

Musical influences are drawn from previous stints in death metal and noise pop bands, as well as being served with the listening pleasures of APHEX TWIN, early grindcore (NAPALM DEATH,CARCASS,etc.), current noise projects, ALEC EMPIRE, DEPECHE MODE, THE PRODIGY, and black metal bands such as EMPEROR, and IMPALED NAZARENE.

EYE SOCKET GENERAL wishes to expand his sound within the confines of electronic music, whether it be ambient/trance, tribal, techno, noise, and exercise his imagination into a strong creative force to eliminate the false senseless dance pop drival that yuppie class club goers are led to believe is "techno". EYE SOCKET GENERAL hears beauty within manipulative sound excursions and believes in a musical progression within the "electronica" realm.
