Who is the Dogman?

I grew up around music, but never really found myself truly blown away by it until I got into post rock. I heard the album Yes I Am by pg.lost and the next thing I knew I was getting an electric guitar and my first effect pedal.

It still amazes me how an effect can inspire someone to create. All the pedals I’ve gathered over time have been the sort of thing that I can lose myself with, something I could play around with for hours in the blink of an eye.

The picture is from when I was living in Japan and my weird solo-band performed at an event called Noise Jamboree that my friend was hosting. I met people there who made synth modules and effect pedals, and I couldn’t continue the way I was living after I found out that an individual could just make effect pedals on their own.

I make each pedal by hand in Sydney, Australia, where I also make weird music, write weird stuff, and attend law school. Formerly located in Minneapolis, MN, Oxford, OH, and Charlottesville, VA. I’m originally from Cincinnati, Ohio.

Oh, and my name is Lance.
