My musical career began as a teenager with programming, sampling and synthesis work in cult NYC machine rock band The Aggression. I then started a project called 4th Level, and with partner Justin Dagostino released a series of 12"’s on U.K. label Auk Recordings. With rjvaleo I then launched a side project called Carbon Framework and released one 12" on Auk also.

After Auk’s demise I again worked with The Aggression, doing production and remix work and gigging internationally. It was then that I developed my guitar style, and a few years later, as The Aggression morphed into hypefactor_band, I started In Loving Memory (http://www.myspace.com/inloving) as an outlet for my guitar-focused music.

With all of the experience amassed from these other projects, I started baye to further develop ideas for compositions that required my full control over production. Over the past few years I have become heavily interested in shamanism, Tibetan Buddhism, lucid dreaming and kundalini yoga, and these influences are starting to seep into my compositions and DJ sets.

Stay Tuned!

Love,
Michael
