About
Bio
Liam Edward Tormey (also known as DON VIBRATON et al.) may appear as mercurial as the great bear or as relatable as a manic pixie elf. He has sought health, wealth and stealth. A perennial pilgrim, ascetic indulger, musical magician, flow master supreme, R.A.P (relatable artistic prophet) STAR, bozo-sattva, and a one time zig zagging, sun seeking, soul surfing zinger stringer.
He has raged mad ahab in the belly of the beast and sat in peace gazing upon Himalayan heights. Some say he's a skillful scribe, others a proficient omniscient prompter, some don't know what he's talking about, other's just pass him on by on the merry-go-around-again.
Professionally he's known as an actuarial artisan, marketing swindler, high frequency trading bot, theological synchrotron and in exchange for poems will happily turn lead into gold.
It's rumoured he has a piece of paper that says BACHELOR of MUSIC and one of these days he might get another bit of paper that says MASTER of TEACHING. But until then he's striving to be MASTER of EVERYTHING.
On weekends he likes to get hyperborean in his delorean and on weekdays he physically isolates and oscillates from Uluṟu to Mt. Meru…all the while still calling burn city home…And YES! he will send you salubrious salutations on LinkedIn!
