Apophysis?

I recently downloaded a computer program called Apophysis, which is a Freeware fractal flame editor for Windows that anyone can download and use for free. You should get it, its neat. I just started playing with it a couple days ago and its a really easy to use program that can make some cool looking images. A sample:

Building a bass

I just got the block of wood I ordered from Warmoth.com, its a big chunk of Alder which I picked because it has a really light weight and a nice full thick sound. I have it routed for a single coil pbass in the neck and a humbucker at the bridge, which I am real excited for. I haven't yet decided what shape I want this one, but I think eventually its gonna come together and make one helluva bass. This will be the 5th bass that I've built, and the 3rd that I have designed and cut. Super pumped.

Minimalism

This is a selection of Minimalist pieces that I created. Minimalism is defined as movements in various forms of art and design, especially visual art and music, where the work is stripped down to its most fundamental features. I only recently started to delve into this style of music and creating and to me these pieces are about creating the most interesting content you can with only one or two variables, for example, music with only one instrument or sonic art pieces created using only a few sound files.

These works are explorations into minimalism through my variation of improvisational trance music.

Fish's Dance Club

This is a piece that I created using only 4 short sounds, a truck horn, a door latch, a beep, and an amp tube buzzing.

Some pictures

Here is a small taste of some of my photos . I don't consider myself a photographer by any stretch of the imagination. I took a photo class a couple years ago, and it kind of just stuck with me as something that I do for fun every now and then.
