Transcendental Desecration was originally co-founded by Gideon Trillian (aka: Lord Gwydyon, GroundZero, Gridlok) and Kevin Neher (aka: KevCo, Kevlar) in 1991 in Santa Cruz, CA. In the beginning the band was an experimental, improv-performance project that tended toward the extreme psychedelic in concept and flavor. It often had an open door line-up policy with regards to jam and recording sessions (similar to bands such as Pigface). Between 1991 and 1997, TD recorded 212 full albums/jam sessions and independently hand-published and released at least 50 of those to local and Bay Area fans and friends. Around 1998, KevCo quit the band which then went on a hiatus. Shortly after that, Gridlok met Maggy Mjolnir who essentially demanded to join the band to play bass and synths. She was enthusiastically inducted into the band, but the band did not officially resume music production until 2000-2001. Transcendental Desecration, now located in San Diego, CA; eventually picked up where it left off with an all new studio and all new equipment and tools. This new incarnation of TD also had a new approach and greater level of sophistication than before. By 2004, TD was officially an equal collaboration between Gridlok and Mjolnir and no longer included other guest musicians or performers. To this day, the two are still prolifically producing music and several new albums are in the works.
