trans xennial musician

I love synthesizers, all sorts of music (mostly electronic), b/cult movies, science fiction, DIY, graphics design, PC hardware, retro computing (Commodore <3), cooking, singing. I’m truly sorry to anyone I have unintentionally hurt in my confusion about my identity. Love and light. Sorry I can’t talk like a normal human being btw, I’m trying.

Here’s some of my music, grateful if you’d give it a listen: https://etherphon.bandcamp.com/

The stuff up there right now is a tad old, but it is some music that deals with my struggles with my realizations about my sexuality and gender, thus some of it is a little difficult and discordant. I’m working on some more joyous music. It’s 100% hardware based (synthesizers, samplers, sequencers, effects), no computer, DAW or AI involved in recording.

  • Thank you for acknowledging it and for sharing your experience, I really am. We’re all flawed humans of course. I’m glad that you have been able to work on yourself in that regard as well, I think overall we’re all a bit guilty of it at some point, sometimes people just want to get into a fight to prove something to themselves or someone or the world and it has nothing to do with what they are saying. I’ve found I have a very low confidence in myself and as such I was always trying to prove something. Now I am much happier with the person I am and I have nothing to prove to anyone. I just need to work on letting go of some past tensions and old habits. But again, don’t we all.



  • I see, thank you, I do admit I’m not super knowledgeable about that. That makes sense, what I was trying to get at before was that it didn’t seem like Islam had such a thing. I know that holy wars have been going on for centuries and the current ones aren’t anything new just different circumstances. I wish religions could live together in peace and I don’t see how obliterating each other helps anyone’s cause. The people fighting wars in the name of religion are all just bastardizations anyways, most people are just trying to get by and want peace. That goes for everyone of course.




  • I don’t think you are. I guess it’s just a matter of feeling heard, everyone wants to feel heard, people make art for different reasons, obviously that wasn’t an issue for him at that point as he was already massively successful with Nirvana, I never really viewed Foo Fighters as much besides bubblegum music and that’s fine too. There’s nothing wrong with songs about nothing it’s all a matter of what your intentions are, he’s clearly very successful. I agree with you about Bjork and that philosophy, I’ve liked her since her Debut she’s just so charming and genuine. She makes music to change people’s perceptions of music, or to bring light to darkness, for others it’s just a means to make money or get sex, there’s a big spectrum out there. Of course not everyone is gonna be Bob Dylan. I have my mentors as well and when I listen to them I also have to fight the urge to think that I’ll never make something that good because that’s very defeatist and goes nowhere. Just do your best.






  • Humm, I suppose I can’t speak for them, I put myself through a hell when my loving creations went basically unnoticed, but that is because they were from my heart and not something I was trying to make popular or a copy of something else I guess. A lot of music is made to be popular, of course, or throwaway sometimes, so you’re right I spoke too soon. I do that sometimes, thank you for your reply and insight.
