Shawn M.
If magnetic or mosaic had a heart, it would be me - Shawn. This site, this music, and the meager yet
persistent existence of this project are my illegitimate brainchildren. The cumbersome m||m name? Yes, guilty
as charged. The magnetic studio is now in version 7, having existed in 2 Boulder locations as well as Springfield,
Schaumburg, Champaign, Peoria, and San Diego. This music is not my job. It is not a success, nor is it profitable.
It is not critically acclaimed, or even respectable. It is not consistent or reliable. However, it is something I'm very
passionate about. I hope to be making and recording noise until the day I die.
As a result of all the non-musical things that I must tend to in life, the activity of magnetic or mosaic (and hence
this site) waxes and wanes. Even through long periods of dormancy, the site stays right here, looking at me and making me feel
guilty until I finally put fingers to strings and strings to microphones. Thanks for checking us out. You can contact me at
