"An intellectual pioneer as much as anything else, raised in South Texas, one of his childhood pastimes involved shooting metal plates with BB Guns so that he could experience the unique sound that it caused. That fascination with sound, combined with a philosophical and literary bent helped lay the path for his musical creations."
