Former Lead Guitar player with Rogue Elephant finds new home on Tapegerm! After R.elephant disbanded I made tapes as Orpheus , now I jam with Justin Frederick in Aspect and make my own solo tracks. I also appear on several Hal McGee projects and FDR. I have recorded with Red Soda and Jason Butler, and finally Mark Cuzick in Neuroplaster MAWG. Much of this material can be downloaded for free at my Mudball website. I rock like a mad viper sneering at you with sarcastic banter. My music is constructed five to six levels outside of our current dimension using a spiralhelix wormhole ladder. It is compressed and then fortified, mystified, and finally electrofied. I then serve it on an mp3 platter using a light particle spinwheel. Don't try this at home.

Michael A Cosma untugorth 03:47/192k
The front piece is a guitar work I came up with last night using some alternate tuning. I wanted to do something with the piece so what better than a new tapegerm track. I also liked "see it all" the last song icecreamofdeath did so I wanted to incorporate that into this piece as well - the monstrous ending was a perfect slot. Hal's loops perfectectly accent the intro part.

I have been playing a lot of awesome FREE online games lately.
Just thought I'd share the names with you in case any one is looking
for some free fun. The best one "Silkroad" Great finished game complete with
Quests and everything else tons of people online playing it. My other favorite is
"Conquer" the graphics are more old school but it is sooo fun to play. "Thang" is cool too some strange morphing creatures - nice graphics - but the quests aren't ready yet. The company that makes "Thang" also makes one called "Deicide" that is also pretty good but I still prefer "Silkroad" and "Conquer".
Contact me for collaboration and more.

I am willing to collaborate on music for tapegerm. Also, I am about to make a new website that will have a portion dedicated to music - underground/indie. I won't be doing anything as elaborate as tapegerm but if any tape germ artist needs or would like an additional web page with several mp3 or ogg files I could help make that happen. Find me when I'm online thoriousburden on aim.
