For sub-genre, i would say it's along the lines of experimental, and a lot of the songs i'm working on writing now are in a sort of post-rock vein, so i would say experimental/post would fit best, although there's influence from most sub-genres present.

The Full title is "The Taco's Spectre Versus The Mantiwhore". It's some odd phrase that came to me courtesy of that wonderful stream of consciousness.

Angelo wrote: Far from bad Sean - I agree that you know how to use the keys. Are you self tutored, or did you get any form of piano/keyboard training? In the mean time, could you provide some details, as requested in the sticky post at the top of the Unsigned Bands section (under guideline/rule #2)? Thanks!

oh sorry, i didn't provide enough details. i'll do that now.
So, Deus Ex Pizza is a solo piano/keyboard project of mine. For genres, the main influences are in the music of King Crimson and Robert Fripp, Porcupine Tree, Rick Wakeman, Jordan Rudess, Ludwig Van Beethoven, Frederic Chopin, Franz Liszt, along with a host of others. I would classify the music in the experimental/post category, because although i take influence from almost of sub-genre of prog and quite a few non-prog genres i feel that  experimental best fits the attitude and music of the project. Currently, I'm working on finishing up my first album and with any luck finding a label that is willing to release it. once everything is set, i plan on distributing it independently until a label can be found.

As for your comments, i am extremely grateful. i took classical piano lessons for about a year and a half, but then had to stop because i had college to pay for and worry about. i'll have been playing for four years in january. so, other than that year and a half i've been teaching myself, mainly just learning my scales and chords and experimenting with different things and reading up on a lot of theory (the internet is great in that i can find anything i want about theory for free) and just learning all i can.
thank you again.

Thanks

thanks for sharing your stuff. Unfortunately I've no opportunity for listening on-line (fcking low traffic), but I'll try to (at my friend's PC )

Thank you very much.
If you'd like, and this goes for anyone, I can send you the full album if you wish to review it, I could always use some reviews.
Also, I could use a favour, since I have a lot of difficulty classifying the things that I write so I have trouble describing it to others, so if anyone could tell me what sort of sense/style they get from the songs I would appreciate that.
There should also be some new ones coming soon.

I would like the album but then I couldn't promise how good the review would be or if I could write a review for it, it seems I've had a bit of writers block recently as well as school issues. But if the offer is available...

Or the God from the Pizza?

I'll have a listen this weekend or next Sean! Will be 'out-of-office' starting Sunday unfortunately.

You don't have to write a review, I'm glad to share my music with anyone that appreciates it. In fact, I just set it for free download on last.fm. so anyone that wants it can download it.
