Alexander Beyer and John William McCormick, Jr., multi-instrumentalists based in and around Philadelphia, PA. Beyer's study in Western Classical (baroque and Spanish) and Appalachian Folk have helped shaped his unique and growing style. Mac has played in the area with numerous projects, including NJ-based band Break Away.

The debut EP, Matter & Light, is a short collection of songs that have existed in various recorded forms for some time. It brings together songs inspired by southern trees, the mortality and weakness in familial bonds, and a Japanese death haiku. Granted, it seems fairly disparate, but there is still something there that unites them all.

The group is planning its first full-length recording for 2013.

He made his own stutter edit plugin for iZotope so he doesn't have to do it by hand now.

This song also came out when I was 19. the elders at the time always said I had my whole life ahead of me. the world was still this exciting place with infinite possibilities. Now it’s a dystopian waking nightmare in its final days.

Oh please stop! BT created the computer software/hardware to make this. He is brilliant. When you reach that level of awesome the "hand dancing" is totally automatic. I am afflicted w it and I don't care. I can only do it because I understand the musical physics behind a song. No I didn't go to music school. But all the big sciences. I TA'd chemistry and physics when they still allowed cool st*t.

EcchiSamurai also DDR brought me here and I would love to share a story with you as well 3 years ago one day after school I was about to play on my PS2 I was looking through my game pile I came across this one unusual disc, in my head I was thinking where did this come from? So I took it out of the pile and I asked my mom about it and she said her friend Rina had brought it and it turned out to be DDR I had no knowledge of the game and I've never played it before so when I started playing it I was playing all through the song you know following the arrows that go with the songs as they played you know well I came across this one song, actually I came across a whole bunch of other songs that I wasn't familiar with at all and some songs I was familiar with but probably haven't heard in a long time such as move your feet by junior senior etc but this one in particular anyway I came across this song called simply being loved so I played the song and you know just follow the arrows on your controller that showed up on the TV once I got done with the song I was surprised because I never heard that song before and so several days later during advisory I got on one of the computers looked up the song and after I watched the music video it said the year it came out and the record company that produced it, anyways I was more concerned about the year it said 2003 was the year it came out and I was like wow 11 years ago? I was 5 YEARS OLD! when this shit came out. So I'd play the song many more times whenever I played DDR . So that's how I fell in love with the song.

I can make the World so much better by dancing, rebuilding amplifiers, computers, currently trying to undo the electrical damage a "mechanic" did to my Fast and furious pickup. He sucks at electronics. I have to rewire reprogram my Lightning myself If I want it done right. 18 yrs holding. This video was for the Mitsubishi elclipse. I had the stick shift version. Lots of good adventures in it. I loved it to 150k miles before it was too much. Waited on the list for close to a month to get my hands on a Ford Lightning. Felt guilty leaving that car at the dealership. I said but the stereo is too complex to rewire. They said just shove the factory deck in the spot it doesn't have to work for auction.
