Twin Brothers Darkness is the latest incarnation of The Pentavrin Phamily of musical projects. This is a Live P.A. and DJ duo Featuring the sounds and skills of both Loki Cocepeli and El Noche (AkA Shaman) who speak to the world via their unique style of electronic music. Drawing from every type of sound source including live instrumentation, keyboards, turntables, movies, historical and philosophical commentaries, speaches.... you name it and the Darknesses will use it to put forth their vision. Don't be fooled by their sociopolitical stance, these guys will rock a party and give dancefloor asses a rough shake.
Having been in a Live P.A. group for the better part of 4 years, i've decided to do a bit of production on my own to satiate my taste for leftfield music. The Cocepeli Project is my foray into my own thoughts and ideas and represents my alterego of Cocepeli and his shamanic nature.
The Beat Mekanix.... the group that started it all. Loki, El Noche, and Malpraktis made up The Beat Mekanix and created hundreds of hours of improvisational music @ EBR Street Gang HQ over the past 4 years. After a bit of turmoil we have recently disolved this group to persue our other projects, but look out for our extensive backlog of material to resurface in the future.
After many years of staying behind the scenes and cultivating reality on a small scale, i've decided to move topside and project my vision of the future onto a wider screen. Long have I toiled in secret and a shroud of darkness. Long have I sought a way to come into the light. Many are the methods that i've used to export the base ideas of The Pentavrin movement, but none have given me as much pleasure and joy as Music. I consider myself to be a writer of poetry, albeit not a great one. I also have a love of visual art: drawing, painting, and sculpture. Yet I do not consider myself to be a visionary in these fields. Music and the technology surrounding its implementation with regards to the Electronic format has given me the ultimate outlet to send out this message. People sometimes ask "what do you stand for" or "what are you all about". The answer is as simple and complex as this: I believe in the ability of the human race to raise above the confines of the mundane world of Corruption, Greed, and Capitalism to create a future where Art, Science, and Education rule. Where children are given the ability to explore their natural talents and innate desires to their fullest potenial. A world where the needs of the many outweigh the Greed of the few. It is with this goal in mind that I create what I create and live the way I live. Lao Tzu said in the Classic "Tao Te Ching": It is easy to hold something that is motionless, It is easy to create a mold for something that is not lacking, It is easy to break something that is breakable. It is easy to scatter something that is small. Take care of a thing before it happens, Arrange a thing before it gets out of hand. The simple man generally fails in his affairs on the verge of success. Take care of the End as you do the Beginning, And you will not fail.
