“The artist is the creator of beautiful things. Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only beauty.”
- Wilde, Oscar.

Dorian’s Gray exists to reveal beauty, truth, and art. Their lyrics are often sexually liberating, at other times satirical, and often designed to expose religious hypocrisy. While their music is not designed for any grand socio-political purpose, the artists are not afraid to speak out for what they believe in. With passionate lyrics, gut-wrenching vocals, pulsing synths, devastating bass-lines, and blood-spattering beats, the beauty that is Dorian’s Gray is music for the elect, to whom beautiful things mean only beauty. Dorian’s Gray is a group of artistic individuals working together to create something beautiful through their musical talents. The result is a sound that is entirely their own, somewhere in the gray area between industrial rock, electro, EBM (Electronic Body Music), and trip hop.

"All art is at once surface and symbol"
- Wilde, Oscar.

Dorian’s Gray represents the shadow of Dorian Gray, a man whose soul is not reflected by his body, but by a portrait of his very soul. With the upcoming release of their double album, A Picture of Sin and The Sin Itself, Dorian’s Gray creates a picture of life’s shadows, sorrows, its trials and tribulations, with some hint of its pleasures, and beauty

"All art is quite useless."
- Wilde, Oscar (The Picture of Dorian Gray)

Tim and Dave , close childhood friends, grew up in Victoria and then moved to Vancouver to pursue music. To make ends meet we began to work in the film industry as lighting technicians. I also picked up some minor acting roles.We got to work with the likes of Robin Williams, Robert de Niro, Al Pacino, and even my favorites Ringo Starr and Jack Nicholson. During this time I gained the experience of lighting rock videos (one of which went to number one on Much Music). Anyway, because of this we were able to buy recording gear and teach ourselves the art of recording music. In the process of recording we were robbed of most of our recording equipment. We worked to replace the gear and eventually produced this C D, Never Leave it Too Late, by Mojo Filter. Can you dig it?

We now have written over 100 songs. a lot of our new material is even more centered on the vocals and harmonies. We are currently producing a video for Sunset Blvd. We started this while in Los Angeles, shooting scenes along Sunset Boulevard. Completing the principal photography in Vancouver on 35 mm film. We are now collecting our nickels to develop the film and edit the video.

There is a New Kid in Town...And he's Smokin' Ray Burnt. He is a Smokin' young guitarist from the highest peaks of the Smokey Mountains. He is a real throwback to the good ol' days of the Instrumental Blues. Is he the next crazy Hendrix or the younger soul of a B.B. King? Maybe.. Go on, Find Out for yourselfAnd So it Begins...Smokin' Ray was born on June 1, 1977, high on top of Smokey Mountain. His Mother and Father were both musicians ( His father played the fiddle, his mother played the accordion.) They had a decent life, poor but not without. As the story goes, Ray was struck by lightning and burnt nothing but his soul. Something came inside of him and now he is what he is. He wasn't hurt...He was just destined for something... He was destined to play the guitar. So from high upon the tree tops the first song he ever heard was the soft/heavy tone of B.B. King's, 'The Thrill is Gone'. That was like magic to his ears. The next? Jimi Hendrix, 'Red House'. 'WOW! He thought to himself, 'I have to do that'. And so he did. He studied all the greats, even as far back as the great Robert Johnson. He learned from John Lee Hooker, SRV, Leadbelly, Chuck Berry, and many others. Lightning Hopkins, 'Lonesome Dog Blues' scared him to shivers. Tucked away in a little studio he recorded by himself. No one could ever guess what would come out of there next. His tone could fall a mountain, his playing could hypnotise you. His brain...insane.Over his short span of playing I think that he really developed his own style. Is he Chicago? Maybe more Texas Style? Perhaps Modern Electric Blues? I don't know, Whatever it is, He calls it the 'Smokey Mountain Style'. Whether SRB is playing clean or dirty you can tell it's him. As you can tell from his acoustic picture and the way he plays, he likes Heavy Metal, Rock and Punk. He is very much influenced by such bands as Metallica, Megadeth, Nirvana, Green Day, AC/DC, Guns & Roses and more. But his true calling is the blues. All you have to do is hear his songs and you will be shown.Where does all this lead up to? I don't know. Maybe something new or maybe just a blip on the radar. We will have to see.Some day his Guitar will quit burning,But until then... Keep on Smokin' Ray Burnt.Available music is Awesome

Terra Mortim. Dead world. This world is a joke, and so is modern society. Terra Mortim was created in late 2005 by vocalist December, and song writer/unProducer Lucian, as an exploration in heavy electronic based mayhem. Terra Mortim is a mish-mash of genres and textures and sounds, with one goal: The society that we are forced into must be destroyed at all costs! Since the birthing of the band, this society has continued on it's swift elevator ride right to hell, and we have been more than happy to provide the soundtrack.

Violesk is a project created solely by myself (Dina). My goals as of right now with this project is to pursue a career in music composition and producing. I am a very versatile individual and don't see myself getting into the whole performance world but would rather work behind the scenes in the underground music scene..
