Thanks

In the mean time, could you provide some details, as requested in the sticky post at the top of the Unsigned Bands section (under guideline/rule #2)? Thanks!

oh sorry, i didn't provide enough details. i'll do that now.
So, Deus Ex Pizza is a solo piano/keyboard project of mine. For genres, the main influences are in the music of King Crimson and Robert Fripp, Porcupine Tree, Rick Wakeman, Jordan Rudess, Ludwig Van Beethoven, Frederic Chopin, Franz Liszt, along with a host of others. I would classify the music in the experimental/post category, because although i take influence from almost of sub-genre of prog and quite a few non-prog genres i feel that  experimental best fits the attitude and music of the project. Currently, I'm working on finishing up my first album and with any luck finding a label that is willing to release it. once everything is set, i plan on distributing it independently until a label can be found.

As for your comments, i am extremely grateful. i took classical piano lessons for about a year and a half, but then had to stop because i had college to pay for and worry about. i'll have been playing for four years in january. so, other than that year and a half i've been teaching myself, mainly just learning my scales and chords and experimenting with different things and reading up on a lot of theory (the internet is great in that i can find anything i want about theory for free) and just learning all i can.
thank you again.

For sub-genre, i would say it's along the lines of experimental, and a lot of the songs i'm working on writing now are in a sort of post-rock vein, so i would say experimental/post would fit best, although there's influence from most sub-genres present.

The Full title is "The Taco's Spectre Versus The Mantiwhore". It's some odd phrase that came to me courtesy of that wonderful stream of consciousness.
