a.k.a. Michael Feen, real name Michael W. Dean

I'm in the music group BipTunia. https://biptunia.com/

BipTunia has made 7 albums in a year. They're not formless stoner jams, it's structured music. I work on music largely 24/7. Or close to that. I've played music since 1978. First put out a record in 1985.

The next BipTunia record, that we're working on now, is all microtonal.

I made a xen VST synth, and I plan to make more.

I am working on a xen compilation album.

I do the Freedom Feens radio show, syndicated on 19 stations around the US. I've been podcasting regularly since 2006, and have been on radio since 2011.

I write and edit tech books: https://www.oreilly.com/pub/au/3220

I make documentary films: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1543780/

I was in a very cool band called Bomb that was signed to Warner Brothers and played in a lot of dive bars around America, Canada, & Europe.

Last gig I played was in 1999. Touring is a young man's game. There is video of that gig though.

You've never heard of me, but cool famous people you've heard of like my music.

You've never heard of me, but cool xen musicians you've heard of like my music.

Fun facts: I have no trouble speaking in front of a crowd, have done it a lot, but prefer to avoid people. I am self-employed, work at home, am often up all night and sleep in the day, and sometimes go weeks without seeing any humans other than my wife.

My user name SyntheticThought is from a line in a BipTunia song. The phrase was created by Phil Wormuth, the Poet Laureate of BipTunia. He and I went to college together, back in the early 80s.

I love cats. Have 3 cats. Bob, Beast, and BipCat. They're awesome.
