I love my fans. All of you. I'm proud to have such a devoted crowd of individuals around the globe that understand and enjoy what I'm doing. I try to respond to ever message and email and stay involved with my fans as much as possible.

That being said - a particular fan, Mr. Andrew O'dell, wrote a fan fiction based upon the later tracks of "Technology Crisis II." And it's pretty damn good. Color me impressed. He recommends you start with "General .0" and play through to "The graves of good humans" as you read - but I think if you start with "northern barrens" it gives you time to read the introductory material and stay in time with the music. So go check it out! Let him know what you think!

The big news for today is that I've officially changed my artist name to "Tettix" - the ancient greek term for the cicada. This is mostly due to the existence of a UK dance music group called Cicada that's finding quite a bit of success. They're not too shabby and they're on Myspace, check em out.

The change in name means a change in website, so go check out www.tettix.net. You'll find two new releases there:

1. A Best of Cicada B-sides album collecting the greatest non-album tracks from 1999-2007. A few of the tracks have been previously unavailable even in my archive.

2. The single for "Blunt Kut Bangs" featuring some different versions I did as well as remixes by DScott, Draconum and Choralseptic. Also included on the single is a B-side from the Conformatigmatic album, "Understudy Heart."

Also in the news: I've submitted a few of my albums to iTunes and they should be available by the end of March. Never fear! They will still be available free on my website, but it'll be great exposure and a chance for people to support me if they feel so inclined.

That's about it! Enjoy! Leave the new Tettix myspace page some love!
