Changing project name to Dystonic01.. Heartfelt lyrics float in fluttering melodies designed to make you feel for a moment
A project by Justin Tamminga... I started off playing guitar and a little bass. Then as of 10 years ago, I became obsessed with drums, as they are the most physical and driving instrument that I could play. I also learned a small amount of piano and cello. Throughout learning and adoring different instruments and styles of music (being in a few bands) I taught myself how to record them so as to smash em all together and create my personal blend of music. Next to skateboarding, music has always been a huge outlet for me. Its a way to dump your innermost thoughts, fears, pain, basically, for me, a way to release and let go of things that are troubling. Music is very personal to me and I tend to stay on the darker side of the spectrum, (poppy bubble-gum smiley music has never appealed to me) only because I FEEL it more.. Dont get me wrong. I enjoy an uplifting melody as much as the next person. I'd just rather not have it backed up with thoughtless lyrics. All in all, Id rather not listen to music if there exists no feeling in it.. So I strive to shove all of the feeling that I possibly can into every track of my recordings. I hope you feel it.. oh and please drop me a note if you hear something you like..

Story behind the song
trying to look in on the other side of a painful situation.
Lyrics
The Breaking Point Oh the breaking point, does it teeter on insanity? Do you feel the same as me? Left me paralyzed and freezing... Hopeless and paranoid, damaged and sucked so dry like a crown of thorns, a needle in my eye... Bring on the gunfire and leave me with my thoughts. This is the flip side where my stale blood rots. So this time I saved an hour or two. You sucked me dry and I ignored this too. Demand of me, reprimanded me. Just who am I to you? When I hold back and I do not attack, you slash out my eyes and I die... Yeah the breaking point, does it teeter on insanity? Do you feel the same as me? Left me paralyzed and freezing. I don’t think you see me standing here on fire! Really, its okay, I don’t exist, I’m an empty liar. Forgive me these thoughts I bleed again. I would open my eyes if this pain I could not see. I would open my eyes if this pain I could not see. Dig in and feel the unsurpassing emptiness. Grasp hold of this surreal nothingness. Fall asleep and dream. At least then you can feel something, anything... something, anything at all...
