Music
Bacon has had a long interest in music. He has played in several musical groups starting with Conspiracy, followed by Neuraxon. He was also the vocalist and a rhythm guitarist in Seraphidian. As well, his website includes a number of songs that he has recorded separately from the band, including the aforementioned version of the Free Software Song. Bacon has also inspired an audio recording application called Jokosher, which is a pun on the fact that his name contains the phrase "no bacon" (see kosher).
In June 2008 Bacon started a new musical project called Severed Fifth. The aim was to produce an album in his home studio and then to distribute the music in new ways. This was an experiment in how musicians can work in the internet era, outside the conventional music industry. The first demo Denied By Reign was released 21 October 2008 and features brutal death metal. His second album Nightmares by Design, more melodic death metal in style, was released on 11 October 2010.

Famous quotes containing the word music:
“Westminster Abbey is nature crystallized into a conventional form by man, with his sorrows, his joys, his failures, and his seeking for the Great Spirit. It is a frozen requiem, with a nation’s prayer ever in dumb music ascending.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
“I believe that water is the only drink for a wise man: wine is not so noble a liquor; and think of dashing the hopes of a morning with a cup of warm coffee, or of an evening with a dish of tea! Ah, how low I fall when I am tempted by them! Even music may be intoxicating. Such apparently slight causes destroyed Greece and Rome, and will destroy England and America.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“So gladly, from the songs of modern speech
Men turn, and see the stars, and feel the free
Shrill wind beyond the close of heavy flowers,
And through the music of the languid hours,
They hear like ocean on a western beach
The surge and thunder of the Odyssey.”
—Andrew Lang (1844–1912)
