Well I guess it's just a fancy way of explaining what this site is all about.

First off this site was originally the home of the Santa Cruz based band Sinewave. Not of course to be confused with the unsuccessful New York based band who apparently had the same name.

Well when the band broke up in late 2001 the site languished in white emptiness for several months. Then I had the bright idea of using the page to support and advertise things that my friends and I liked.

So that is now exactly what Sinewavemusic.com is. A big advertisement for whatever tickles our fancy now. Things like music, concerts, video games, Manga, art, photography, and cool web site links. Oh yeah and also for the bands that were created in the wake of Sinewave's demise.

Just who the fuck is Sinewave? I found this site because of that bastard. . .

Who am I? Well you can prolly figure that out from the site but. . .

Hey that actually is a good description of me. . .

Well you could read the following. . . Be warned it's not finished and possibly may offend!

Doubtless if you actually are reading this page then you must be wondering who Sinewave is? Either that or you stumbled onto this page and are wondering why you should care who this obviously self absorbed asshole is. The Internet is if nothing else, a great place for self aggrandizement.

Well you might be interested. . . Right? Nah. . .

So who am I anyway? Well first and foremost I'm a musician. You can hear the stuff that my collaborators and I have cooked up elsewhere on this little piece of digital property. Pleasant Valley Aerospace is my current band/project and perhaps I will put together a touring version of it one day. People seem to like what we've done (honestly it's just two man band) so things are looking good. I used to be in a band called Sinewave so that explains where I got my moniker. Anyway working on music is what I do with almost all of my time.

So how does one who is not a signed artist afford to be a full time musician you ask? Well I have a lot of free time due to various health problems that have plagued me since around '98. So that makes me (as my Bio's on various message boards say) literally a shiftless lay about.
As you might have guessed I'm also a fan of music and I spend a lot of time listening to it. I also get a kick out of promoting bands that I love on the Internet and telling my friends to go out and buy their albums. This is where I would usually list some of my favorite bands but that would be redundant because their names are plastered all over this site anyway.

I also have what could be termed as an unhealthy obsession with RPG's (especially ones from Square Enix), Manga, and Anime. Being so obsessed with these things has led me to learning to speak and read a little Japanese. I also find guilty pleasure in listening to Japanese bands. It's funny that I'll listen to J-Pop but I won't touch American Pop music with Bea Arthur's dick. I guess it's because I love their language so much.

I also have a Star Wars obsession but that of course goes without saying for just about my entire generation.

As for my vital statistics: I grew up in the California Central Valley out in the country just a few miles away from Escalon, Oakdale, and the (now) infamous Modesto. I attended school in Escalon and I can't say that I really enjoyed it all that much. The Queen Bee's were bitches and the Jocks were assholes. So it was pretty much like every school in the world. In my senior year I went from being a nerd/outcast to a popular musician who some people were afraid of. That was a wonderful cathartic experience that showed me how incredibly pointless the whole school social experience really is. Far too many people live their lives in fear of what others think of them.

Between living in the country and going to school in Escalon I luckily missed out on the whole Modesto equation. I don't really feel any attachment to the town nor any of the weird hate/adoration thing that many of its natives have. I do get a kick out of how many idiots around the world think that Modesto is cool because the band Grandaddy says so. Trust me there is nothing cool about being an alcoholic in a town that's famous for missing people and murders. Even George Lucas got the fuck out of dodge as soon as possible and he very rarely comes back.
