(Official biography_ by J. Thomas Omeara) |

Mess of it ALL is the pet project of Graham Sedam.
It's also his solo project. What this means- in this
case- is that, to listen to his debut album, stages
and cycles, is to be exposed to the essence of
Graham. He writes about extremely personal, abstract
ideas. The music on stages and cycles is a lush
exploration of what a guy can do with enough
determination (it took him 3 years to complete this
project), a basement, a PC, and a synthesizer.
Graham did have some help though, his long-time
collaborator, Matt VanOpdorp, was a big help with
laying down the guitar parts that Graham wrote. The
ones that he didn't play himself. |

The journey that Graham Sedam took to get to Mess of
it ALL was long, but in hindsight, seems a straight
one. Mess of it ALL is one result of Graham being in
bands, and being frustrated by the lack of control a
lead singer has over the music in a band. So Graham
decided to go it alone. But he'd do it the right
way: he went to McNally Smith College of Music in
St. Paul, Minnesota for a degree in Associate of
Applied Science in Recording Technology. The dude
really doesn't do things half way, and you can tell
that when you listen to his music. |
