About Qaos

Project Qaos revolves around a group of musician-artists living in Qaos, the capital and second largest city of Nordonia (Petrozagorsk is #1).  If you're not familiar with Nordonia, the name comes from the phrase "a hop, skip, and a jump from Macedonia"....or "over the river and through the woods from Romania." I forget which. Although it's not a small country, you'll be able to see it better with your eyes closed.

Over time, Project Qaos has fractured into the following pieces:

I: Qaos Ascending
II.  Book of Days

III: Finding Zemo (Royal Hiccup)

IV: The Inklings
V: Heavy Metal Banjo   

 VI: The Simple Life of Finches

Notes from Qaos

Beginning on June 1, 2026, this will be a weekly posting of journal notes (digital, of course) written by Otto Mikhail (Misha) to his cousin Quinn Zikszentmihalyi. 

Soundtrack
An ever-growing list of musicians/songs which inspire Project Qaos, including songs which Misha may translate for various bands. Southern Europeans love American music, you know...or so I've heard. Misha is currently majoring in English at a college in Michigan which his cousin Quinn also goes to, but it looks like he may be transferring soon.

Meet the Band(s)
An introduction to the main band, Qaos Ascending, as well as a brief description of other bands which orbit the same literary galaxy.

Meet the Artists
A brief description of artist-musicians who have colonized the Black Squirrel Cafe, a few blocks away from the University of Qaos.  Also, an archive of artwork which have inspired Project Qaos. Also also, a gallery of artwork found throughout the project.

WIP
Self-explanatory, I suppose.

P.S. If there are any musicians or artists which may inspire me, then please let me know via social media, projectqaos@gmail.com, or pony express.  If this blog contains your vids/pics and you'd rather not have it here, then please email me and I'll try to beg you otherwise. Failing that, I respect your copyrights etc and will gladly replace your works with something else. I'd love to ask each and every musician/artist for permission beforehand, but I don't have the time or connections to contact each and every one of ya. Thanks!
