WHAT IS THE ABSTRACTIVE TEMPLE OF PRESIDENT MARBAS? :
For film photography I primarily use a ЗЕНИТ СД12 paired with a Helios 44M , Most of my digital photography is taken with a Sony Alpha 6000 along with a wide range of lenses (telephoto , experimental , and portrait)
For videography : a Sony Alpha 6000 , Canon 514xls , and Kransogorsk mkII
My analog video synthesis is done through some handmade equipment such as a circuit-bent Radioshack audio reactor , modified VHS camcorders (for feedback looping) and a Sansui AV99 paired with my VCR.
Musical and audio related equipment could be found on my Eqiupboard (here)
Software development and games are typically done in Gamemaker 8.0 , Gamemaker Studio 1 , and Codeblocks. my latest and most notable software (ASCII LION) was developed in Gamemaker 8.0

The abstractive temple is a collective concept and unification of those who reverence and channel the Goetic Lion spirit President Marbas , initially formed in early 2017 when I became a devotee. those who are in constant resonance with his energy and values are inherently considered a member of the abstractive temple
HISTORY BEHIND THE ABSTRACT LION NAME? :
Towards the end of my previous project (Nitro Pulse) I was sitting on the name “Marbas & Palace” which I produced under for about a month , it was my first choice and was a great starting point for the message I wanted to accomplish , soon after I meditated on it and felt that “Abstract Lion” rolled off the tongue nicely , there was more resonation with my energy . Not only does it pertain to President Marbas but also my love for lions , me being a leo rising , and my abstract and unpredictable nature.
WHAT IS NITRO PULSE? :
Nitro Pulse was my teenage expressionist multi-media project (proto-Abstract Lion) the project ran from Late 2011 to January 2018. you can check out some of my older works (here) if you’re curious.
