Artist
My name is Zachary Guy-Frank. I am the epic, experimental, one man band Pterofractyl. This album was written and recorded from 3/12-8/12. It is my first foray into completing a project entirely by myself. I'm incredibly excited with both the result of this recording and for what I will do moving forward, now that I've further developed skills in seeing a vision through from inception to completion. The title, "The Responsible Artist," embodies the concept of balancing the need for creative output with real world obligations. One can move too far in either direction: by losing touch with the needs of reality, or conversely, by sacrificing the internal desire to create in order to function within cultural expectations. Ideally, "The Responsible Artist" is someone who manages to find to that perfect balance between these seemingly opposing commitments, by obtaining a singular fulfilling experience. It is something I strive for on a daily basis, but have not yet mastered. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
