About Me

I'm a musician, poet, and blogger from upstate New York, USA. I love just about any type of music, but it's the darker genres that strike my fancy, especially symphonic metal, industrial, darkwave, harsh electro and the like. At the moment, I'm involved in two musical projects- darkwave/industrial and symphonic/progressive metal. I also have plans to compose a few orchestral pieces, as well as ambient music in the future. My personal blog can be found at http://www.quoththeraivyn.com
