hey guys.
After the response from the original bio at my site, I decided to change the bio.
So here it is... stripped down and simple.
I also changed the overall feel of the site... making it seem less personal, and thus adding some "mystery" to it. (as many people advised me to do)
so, what do you think? is this better?
any thoughts and comments are welcome and appriciated!

Kcinsu has a plethora of unreleased material dating back to when he was 14. Extremely limited numbers of tapes where given to close friends and family. Kcinsu has almost his entire history of recorded work in his possesion. These works are, and will remain unreleased.
i dont really know what to say now

i didn't read the original version of your bio... so i couldn't say if this was an improvement or not.
But as it is, your site seems serious and professional... like your music really.
"These works are, and will remain unreleased."
I guess this isn't really interesting yet. Maybe when you've made a couple of cd's and gathered a fanbase... stuff like this will tickle their curiourisity :-p (like BoC and all their early tapes and demos). But the average visitor who visits your site now and doesn't know your music will most likely just think "so what?"
But still i think you should keep it this way. If you keep updating the site very detailed and with everything that happens with kcinsu... in the end it will become very interesting because you've kept a detailed biography from the very beginning. Maybe you should even add all the dates of when you made the updates.

thanks man :)
although the dates arnt on the site, i have logs of it, in the control area.
I see what you mean about the unreleased thing
but Ill leave it like this for now. I want this to be detailed in my history... and even though it might not be important to people yet (or ever) I still want to document it all :)
thanks again
(yes, serious/professional is my aim)

i agree totally and it are sentences like this one that make ppl turn against you, which happens quite often as you have surely noticed. it just sounds so redicolous, that's also why i quoted it.
btw, there is no offence intended this time

"it just sounds so redicolous"
Well i don't think it sounds ridiculous. It just doesn't really interest me so far. When i read that about the unreleased material, i didn't think: "damn... i wish i could get my hands on those!"... because at this moment zeus is just an internet-artist who aspires to become more succesful (like there are millions of others). And i'm not particularly obsessed with him or his music.
But if he does manage to become a succesful artist, than i think it'll work just great, and people will love to see the stuff he wrote on his site today. Back in the days when he was still in musicschool and only dreamt of a musical-career ;-)
Sites like this are never great when they've just started, they need to grow and be regularly updated to become great over time.
So seriously, if you're really going to try to make music more than a hobby (and i think you are, since i've heard you say you're attending some sort of musicschool) i think you should be stubborn and just keep the site as it is, no matter what anyone says about it now. It just sounds very ambitious (that's also what makes it look serious and professional), and some people think that looks ridiculous. But if you believe in your music, you won't care.

'not catalouged' doesn't strike me as perfect spelling either, zeus :P

just the text in your bio. as pointed out by others in this thread :) i mean, it's pretty pointless to say that you've got tons of tracks lying around that you're never ever going to publish. why mention it, i wonders. other than that your site looks professional

nice bio.
short and simple.
the discog thing: oh dear. not a good idea. this basically just says: I have no discog, I have not released anything.
and it does look silly now - you haven't released anything but somehow you think we (the public) are interested to know you have lots of material lying around..?
