I started Shattered Glass Playground in 2005 as originally just an electronic/industrial two piece. Then I eventually wanted to expand into the metal and rock atmospheres and found other talented musical spirits to help me fulfill my vision of musical dynamic and live performance. Many of which have projects of their own, as do I have other projects. SGP is like the collaborative meeting place for musicians from all genres of Florida’s underground local alternative scenes to come together and do something fun and different that has a positive message and helps stimulate human consciousness.
To describe the message I try to convey…
“So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none. When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way.
Sing your death song and die like a hero going home”
~ Chief Tecumseh (Crouching Tiger) Shawnee Nation 1768-1813
