Samuel Berney, the band is an unsigned post-classical solo artist from Rapid City, South Dakota.
He started violin lessons at four and learned to play the violin via the Suzuki program at age five.
He is involved in many classical musical groups, but decided to take a turn for the experimental. He started this solo project when he started taking guitar lessons, playing on the piano, and teaching himself music theory in 2007.
The band’s experimental instrumental lineup changes, but the usual bases are violin or electric violin, acoustic guitar, and vocals. The more recent tracks include electric-acoustic guitar, bass guitar, kazoo, harmonica, tambourine, and low whistle in addition to the melody line instruments.
The recording of the music is lo-fi. Samuel Berney, the band’s early tracks were recorded using an X-Fi Gaming Soundcard with a low-end stereo directional microphone, but slowly equipment improved to a dynamic microphone mixed with direct inputs into a bass amp, mic’d running to the soundcard. The premixed sound reduces the load on the sound card and the computer processor, letting audacity record with less lag.

ARRGH! My songs are played on last.fm radio, but only the ones named things like "Dark" and "Dischord" and "Darker." See Above^^. >: If it's named Dark, it obviously reminiscent of nothing but musical darkness. Sheesh.
