Ginormous is the music of L.A. artist, Bryan Konietzko who uses the medium as an attempt to tap a direct conduit in his biggest, most potent and varied emotions. In this way, the creation of his music acts as a sort of self-help therapy. In the spirit of this, Mr. Konietzko keeps this music like a daily journal, as an undertaking of personal and emotional anthropology.
