Music
Chad Hamlin finds true inspiration when it comes to his approach to audio production and song writing. Morphing the sounds of electronica and injecting the craziness of his bass guitar skills using effects that create synth-like textures. He has managed to deliver a very futuristic vibe that revolves around the low end frequencies of his grooves. These alien like sounds can be mesmerizing as they provide some insight into the essence of his alter ego persona LooNurGooSe. The core of his innermost being (as crazy as it might be) resembles the likes of a scientist on a experimental quest into the depths of madness.
