🔴 Bio

[Updated 7/16/2025]Angelia Faye Marcloid in was born in 1984, 9 months after her Mom & Dad banged in a hotel room somewhere.She currently resides in a quiet town more than an hour outside of Chicago, IL., with her wife, 4 cats, 1 dog, & some plants.Angel changed her name from her former/birth name in 2015. She chose the name 'Faye' as her middle name in 2021.'Marcloid' is a "stage name" or "public name" of sorts, spawned from a joke her friend Derek made in the early 2010s.Angel was gifted a cheap acoustic guitar by a family friend when she was 3, but she spent most of her single digits playing drums instead. At only 8 years old, she was playing Rush, Candlebox, Rage Against The Machine, & Dream Theater covers in a band with the then-12-year-old guitar wizard Andrew Synowiec, now a Los Angeles session musician (The Who, Pink, 98 Degrees, Mark Anthony).At 12, she got a Fender Jazz bass for her birthday, & an Aria Pro II electric guitar at 13. Despite growing up in a lower-middle-class family, her parents saw her potential & did their best to facilitate her musical development. By her preteens & into her late 20s, she was playing in & writing for a number of hard-working DIY bands exploring many genres, such as prog rock, post-hardcore, metalcore, punk, emo & screamo (the first two waves), noise, grind, powerviolence, alt rock, & even classic rock covers.Some of her later & more well-known bands were Age Sixteen (emo/screamo/post-hardcore), A Perfect Kiss (emo/indie rock), Lilu Dallas (mathcore/post-rock), Batcomputer (emo/post-rock), Sawhorse (post-rock/ambient), New Years (emo), Seabreezes (screamo), Shadow Gov't (emo/screamo/post-rock), Surf Nazis On Ecstasy (anarcho-powerviolence with a very un-serious but problematic name that, in hindsight, we shouldn't have used).Angel was also the sit-in drummer for Sweden's legendary melodic screamo band Suis La Lune for their 2010 American tour.In the mid-2000s, Angel ran a MySpace clothing brand, a graphic design firm, & a screen printing outsourcing. Most of her graphic work was creating gritty, trendy shirt designs for metalcore & pop punk bands.From 2008 to the mid-2010s, Angel ran multiple experimental music labels (Rainbow Bridge, Swamp Circle), & remained active with a large number of simultaneous solo projects, such as Power Windoze, Inappropriate King Live, The Human Excuse, Pregnant Spore, Path To Lobster Believers, Dementia & Hope Trails, etc. She also made a lot of the art for her labels & releases.As of the late 2010s, Angel's dominant creative endeavor has been composing/producing music & videos for her flagship solo project Fire-Toolz, in which she explores & experiments with the sounds of industrial, jazz fusion, prog, noise, new age, ambient, avant-garde sound design & collage, house, early waves of emo & screamo, IDM, glitch, & more. Song structure, time signatures, musical keys, & timbral themes, are all subject to jaggedly shift at any moment in such a way that is jarring to some, stimulating to others, & authentically reflective of who Angel is creatively & aesthetically. (You guessed it, she has ADHD.)Fire-Toolz's visual & lyrical themes are often deeply personal, spiritual, esoteric, mystical, psychedelic, abstract, conceptual, poetic, & philosophical. They are rife with symbolism, synesthesia, a connection to nature, & spiritual themes spanning across traditions, including criticisms thereof.With Fire-Toolz, Angel explores high & low culture. She synthesizes the matter-of-fact & the visceral to uncover new colors, point to new realizations, & communicate both electrifying joy & stinging pain. It is all expressed in a highly embellished yet painfully honest way.Over the years, Fire-Toolz has taken on a large amount of meaning & significance for Angel. It is her main creative outlet, & it is a real-time documentation of her evolution. Each album is like a log file, or diary.Additionally, Angel currently produces music as Nonlocal Forecast (prog/new age/jazz fusion), Angelwings Marmalade (noise/experimental/cybergrind), MindSpring Memories (sample-based vaporwave/slushwave/ambient), Toad Computers (signalwave/experimental/mallsoft), Apk ♀ ᴎᴇᴛ ☯ Ltd℻ (noise/plunderphonics), & several others.Angel Hair Audio, is her music studio & full-time work endeavor in which she does mixing, mastering, music production, music videos, & audio/video post-production work. Typically she is booked 3-4+ weeks out at any time.Among Angel's clients are Blind Equation, Flesh Eater feat. Fiona Apple, Thank You Scientist, Sungazer, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Fruit LoOops, Dustin Wong, J Ludvig III, White Suns, COCOJJOEY, Trust Fund Ozu, Needlejuice Records, Geometric Lullaby, Euglossine, Nmesh, desert sand feels warm at night, & hundreds more.Angel has produced albums for No Joy, The Scary Jokes, Chris Conde, & Lipsticism among others. She has also collaborated with Clipping., Brothertiger, CVN, Memorrhage, Zola Jesus, Draag Me, & Ben Levin.Angel spends most of her free time staring at the sky & clouds, enjoying nature & animals, bonding with her cats & animal friends, binge-watching academic YouTube channels (religion, cybersecurity, philosophy, climate science, quantum mechanics, politics, etc.), monitoring live streams of animal rescue operations, following & supporting scambaiters, shoddily soaking up jazz music theory, Photoshopping together gaudy collages, digitally glitching commercial stock animations, dreaming of ordering takeout, actually ordering takeout, consuming overpriced lattes, or breaking the law (depending on which state she's in).She also absolutely loves just sitting at a computer & being on the internet.She spends time with the teachings of the Ra Material (The Law Of One), Eckhart Tolle, Richard Rohr, Paul Selig, Swami Sarvapriyananda, & other spiritual figures. She does not & never will have a "guru." The age of the guru is over.On paper/on Earth, you could say that Angel is transgender. She is not a trans woman. The term 'non-binary' works, but ultimately, she doesn't prefer to label herself with any checkbox or qualifier unless she has to. She feels herself to be a feminine creature, but without any particular gendered words to justify or explain it. At the same time, her masculine energy & traits are undeniable. They swirl within & without her feminine nature.Angel is, on the level of form, a person, an animal, a sentient conglomeration of cells. But on a deeper & more authentic level, she is... happening, just as every other person & thing in this universe is happening. She is just as much everything & nothing as anything else is.If words must be used to drum up some kind of identifying marks, they may as well be metaphor or prose, as medical terms only refer to the body, psychological terms only refer to the mind, & spiritual terms only refer to the 'I Am.'We are all ultimately the Ocean, & sometimes the Ocean Self appears to manifest as individualized waves. Angel is one of these waves. She (& everyone else) briefly rises from the Ocean, only to merge back into it soon after.On this plane, Angel is just the Big Bang, still in motion.Despite no pronouns feeling ultimately correct, we surrender & just use "she/her."
