Very cool moody, videogame-style techno withunstoppable beats. Sounds like a remix of Metroid Gameboy soundtrack. And it’s Creative Commons licensed.

FlyKKiller is the second collective project of musical collaborators Stephen Hilton and Pati Yang. Separately they have been at the forefront of avant-garde electro music, both bringing a wealth of experience into a band that in such a short time have already been seized upon as pioneers of the genre.
For their new project, the cannily titled FlyKKiller, the pair set about recording a studio album with (as legend would have it) an extraterrestrial called V; which when you hear the outcome of these sessions you can understand where such claims might come from. The gallant and incessant beats that have become the backdrop to Yangâ..s howling, stirringly poignant and harmonic vocal were, again as the myth insists, recorded by V who created these cubes (whilst in captivity in the FlyKKiller Institute in Poland) as a vessel in which to pass on her peaceful communications to us earthlings. However the otherworldly sci-fi cubes have been seized from her by her captors at The FlyKKiller Institute, and sold to fund their scientific research. Additional information is being presented via download and physical formats.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
