I am an incoming college student from Philadelphia, studying Graphic Design Communications and Marketing. My passions include glitch photography, poetry, and music. Everything I do is corrupted and "downgraded", because it's the only way I know how to do things. My way.
I make music under the names The Downgrade Complex, and Nathan Palinkas (my real name). Not much separates the two, honestly, but I intend for The Downgrade Complex to veer into more "listenable" electronica.
I also make music with my friend Cameron (a talented sound designer and foley artist from Maine) under the alias Vkhutein. Abstract drone music for installations and audiovisual projects, ideal for lucid dreaming. I also sometimes help write songs for my local friends' pop-punk bands, often writing shitty wanky lyrics.
Welcome to my little corner of the internet.
