Bob Ebeling is a musician from Romeo, Michigan, USA. He has spent his life in the pursuit of great recorded sound. In this pursuit he took up song writing, drumming, guitars, synthesizers and keyboards, recording studios, microphones and microphone techniques, vintage audio gear, experimental lifestyles, philosophical deep thinking, the extremes of love and failure, the extremes of loneliness and it's good and bad results, the pain of knowledge, the pain of real experience, the pleasure of wisdom, the loneliness of wisdom, being an outsider and if not than making oneself one, extreme self criticism and negation of all other opinions, throwing it all away, earning it all back and then feeling empty still, calming the wildness finally, longing to be a good father and husband, actually trying to be a good father and husband, becoming deeply depressed, overcoming deep depression, suffering, overcoming suffering, working in basements for years and years, loving being left alone to create in basements, being an intuitive person and getting sick of having to deal with others, mixing music, actually creating amazing mixes, becoming a person who just creates as if breathing, getting lost in the woods, getting lost in the woods at 2A.M., receiving messages from the woods that apply to all the hard lessons one must learn to live as a human on Earth, getting lost inside a camera, meditating while taking photos of the woods-- to the point that one loses what is happening by turning over ones perception to the camera so one might believe what one saw in one's camera, wanting answers and demanding the gods give them to you, agreeing with the gods to work hard and play your role always in exchange for some answers, receiving answers and dealing with them, experiencing extreme synchronicity, having so much synchronicity going on that one doesn't even get thrilled by it anymore, getting the point, learning that one can only know so much on a third density planet, one won't know what one wants to know if the answers are beyond words and ideas on the planet one is currently on, learning about the veil of forgetfulness, understanding that memories are very fleeting, understanding that we are always just here in this moment and no amount of happiness or success yesterday is gonna help you right now, understanding that every human has extreme conscious experience going on that no other human can even approach-- so we really are deeply separated from each other no matter how hard we try to come together, understanding that you can be pure and good for others and others will treat you like the weak first impression categorization they usually are slaves to, understanding your job in this human life is to still find something redeeming in these awful humans, understanding that even you are one of these awful humans, wondering what kind of setup is this, what kind of insane world is this, learning to see it's all a joke, it's all lunacy and run by the truly most lunatic, understanding everything you have been taught is a lie, understanding that society does control you with language and guilt trips, disposing of these weak slaves, peacefully of course, trampling on and on and it never gets any easier if you are not deluding yourself every second of every day, intelligence is painful, language is a crutch, control mechanism, language warms the hearts of the cold hearted, giving them something to use as a weapon, giving them control, learning how people use language and rejecting it forthright, outright, quietly and purely, learning that consciousness is what's going on and one has much more going on inside than outside, once you try to move that consciousness outside you must deal in massive compromises with many unconscious automaton beings, the power elite and such, learning that I'd rather not even come into contact with these types or else I will dirty the pretty picture I'm making of this whole life experience, go round, being thankful that I can stay in my basement making my music, being thankful that I am actually getting somewhere with these unique skills, being self aware of my achievements and not aware from others, not absolutely but as much as possible, looking at everything out there and going, man, it's mostly complete garbage, seeing that culture is just a control mechanism, a way of force feeding crap to people over and over until they believe it, seeing that one must reject culture if one wants to make any really good art, seeing that good art and culture are unrelated most of the time.
