The more things change, the more they stay the same...

All existence is a cycle of dynamism, stasis and entropy... Of change, settling, and destruction of the unnecessary. So is the nature of evolution. This project has moved into the next phase of its own evolution. As some of you know, I suffer(?) from a slight case of musical schizophrenia. I have a lot of ideas, and not all of them hang together with the others. In the past, when I've had an idea that greatly differed from the others, I created a new musical persona through which I would express that idea. Once that persona was created, I would establish a new "band name" for that persona. I have decided recently, however, that the latter half of this process is unnecessary; and have opted to place all of my past and future musical output under the banner of The Necrophonic Orchestra, from here on out. Don't worry... though the diabolical Old Scratch has been lurking in the shadows since the release of Spookshow, he is far from gone. I've just had some other ideas that I needed to get out; and in true gentlemanly form, Old Scratch decided to step out of the spotlight for a bit. He still speaks to me and through me on occasion... And he will likely be back one day. Until that time, I have a lot of other stuff available, and have altered my myspace page and www.necrophonic.net to reflect my paradigm shift. I've also made a good deal of my output available for free, and have chosen to sell at-cost the few items that production expenses required me to exchange for money. This means that I've given up on commerce in favor of art, and have opted to stop focusing on profiting when I could simply be creating. I'm sure this is a novel concept to those who have had their outlooks tainted by the music industry, which manufactures music instead of creating it, pollutes the airwaves with profit-centric garbage, and sucks the soul out of living art through unnatural mass-production all in the name of the almighty dollar... But I'm going back to my roots on this one. The underground has always been my home, and subterranian I will remain.
