| Introduction | I am a software engineer with over 10 years of experience, specializing in Java/J2EE technology. View my LinkedIn profile ( http://www.linkedin.com/in/christopherfoldi ) for a history my work experience. I am also a musician. My projects include frigiD touch ( frigidtouch.com ). The vibe is retro/future/club/euro, combining the glitch and glitz of Goldfrapp with the allure of Roxy Music and futurism of Gary Numan. I also played in the goth band The Deadward Goreys ( http://www.myspace.com/thedeadwardgoreys ) with a remarkable crew of performers. I'm probably best known for my long-time electro-rock band State of Being ( http://www.stateofbeing.com/ ). The band's sound was best realized in the CD 'Haywire' produced by former Stabbing Westward member Andy Kubiszewski. The CD spawned the single "Levity" which received significant airplay in Cleveland, Phoenix, and as far away as Melbourne Australia. The band performed supporting gigs for Billy Idol, Thrill Kill Kult, Chemlab, The Church, Kill Hannah, The Used and many others. My latest project fduphouse.com combines photography with DIY as I document the process of gutting a house and rebuilding it. |
