X-Centric (Christian Shimer)

Christian Shimer

Los Angeles

My name is X-Centric, a name created to reflect my personality and my musical tastes. This album is an mix of experimental , fusing a variety of styles into what I call "Electro-Cine-Technica"! It's a fusion of electronica, techno, acoustic and orchestral sounds. Each track provides its own story as moods from sinister to euphoric are explored. At this time I am a non-performing artist, which means I create music like a work of art; created and never performed again. While I have a deep passion for life, I have anxiety disorder which prevents me from connecting directly with the outside world. I can, however, connect to it through music. Music has always been an important outlet for me, both emotionally and artistically. This album consists of the best music created over the last decade. It will not be the last. I am inspired by events in the world around me and the changes taking place as we struggle to find our humanity in a world determined to make us all into robots. At age 14, I spotted a 100 year old piano and spent hours upon hours sneaking off to play it. Late at night I'd break into churches or my high school theater so that I could create and play my own music. When I took guitar lessons at age 7, the teacher was such a jerk that he turned me off of learning to read music. I had a good ear for it, so when it came to the piano, I taught myself. Unable to read or write music, I rely on my ear and my imagination. I play what feels good, then amp it up until I get a sound I like. My intention is to continue creating digital music and sharing it with the world. While I forgo the pleasure of performing (something I had done prior to my illness) I take pleasure in the knowledge that this music might help color the worlds of other people who struggle with life just like I do. Discover for yourself what this eclectic style of music does for you. If you enjoy it, stay tuned, because there is more music coming!
