about me
I'm Myk.. a bicycle mechanic and occasional collector of old school track bike gear. My time is divided between industrial musical pursuits, and any number of other things including mechanics, some welding and fabricating, engineering with principles of torque and drive, tailoring and seaming on sewing machines, barbering and stying hair on occasion, record collecting and djing on a very small scale.
Things I enjoy seeing.. broken down machines being swallowed by plants, abandoned industrial complexes and structures, signs of sacred geometry in such things as the face of a sunflower, bicycles that are too tough to die, taking the time to observe the secret life of insects.
Things I enjoy hearing.. the exquisiteness of goth, the power and passion of original industrial, an infectious breakbeat that causes one to move to the snare, any number of desperate and decrepit pounding and yelling sounds from the world of metal / punk, conscious hip hop with real talk, the feelgood that comes from northern soul and lowrider oldies, the sheer gangsterness of love from ska / rocksteady / roots reggae, lastly noise, and the sounds of a quiet evening in the woods.
I enjoy feeling.. pride without prejudice, pain while knowing that what will not kill you will make one stronger, overcoming adversity, giving yourself away to an experience with faith and trust, finally grasping a concept, completing a project seemingly unsurmountable, saying what needs to be said with style and confidence, losing oneself in a dance, when music you're producing comes together, anger when justified, the recognition of beauty, that shiver and hair standing up experience of elucidation.
