Webster’s
Dictionary says “shiftless: lacking in ambition or incentive; lazy”.
They’re not too far off the mark.
shift(less) is the electronic music alter ego of
Mark Loeffelbein. Born and raised in the
‘burbs of southeast Michigan, he acquired a love of music at an early age, from
Def Leppard and Billy Squier to Duran Duran.
He was exposed to “electronic” music much later, enjoying early
Ministry, Spahn Ranch, and Electric Hellfire Club. Finally he was introduced to techno, and soon
after the alter ego took control. This
newfound creative outlet has resulted in a self-produced EP, “dark
matter...lazy matter”. Reactions have
ranged from guarded enjoyment (“it reminds me of video-game-music” says one
listener) to utter indifference.
Different strokes for different folks, as they say.

2004: The web site hits the, uh,
web. Yeah. More stuff to be added as I think if it,
probably. Also check out the interview with the guys at the Markophone.
Nice, those guys, but a little flaky.
