The original concept for wilt arose several years ago when I was a vocalist for the eclectic death-metal band, Children. We would have these very bizarre sound breaks where echoing screams met droning guitars and soothing synthesizers and it was during these moments my curiosity was peaked for the potential of so-called "ambience". Needless to say the band broke up and everyone went their separate ways. I went away to school to study industrial design. During my years of study I began to search out ambient or experimental works. After stumbling upon the works of Steve Roach, Namanax, Merzbow and Augur I decided it was time to start creating again. So, I began my solo effort entitled, "wilt", after an early electronic media painting I had done. My sole intent was and is to explore, sonically, the potential world of sound, whether that means noise, dark ambience, or sound sculptures, wilt is that which can be heard.

A flower, something idealistically associated with beauty, will die. This process of wilting is an aging towards death. The flower passes through shades of color to reach a final standstill, and it is at this point that most do not consider a flower, a flower anymore...but it is. A thing of decomposed beauty. A flower wilting seemed to be the perfect metaphor for what I feel wilt is. I utilize those sounds that may not seem commercially acceptable and turn them into [de] compositions.
