Thanks for coming out this far. Most folks don’t.
I’m Killy. I make songs, and I make tools for people who make songs. All of it’s here. Pull up a chair — the fire’s going.

the trail’s this wayStart with the music.
It’s the reason for everything else on this page. These were written between Charleston and the Monongahela, mostly at night, mostly by a fire. Play one while you walk.
Sink into the slow grind of Roux Garoux — heavy riffs, dark atmospheres, and words pulled from the underside of the soul.
Honest dirt-road wisdom. Lessons learned from getting burned, heartache and mistakes made. Raw, emotional, true stories from my life, sung and played acoustic.
There’s another one of me.
He comes out after dark. Slow, low, and loud. Sludge and doom from the same hollows, for the nights the acoustic isn’t enough.
Everything that’s not me here is for you.
I got tired of tools that cost money and time I didn’t have, so I started building my own and giving them away. No trial, no catch, no expiry.

About the man.
Musician out of West Virginia. Self-taught on all of it — guitar, production, code — and still learning in a hurry. I'd rather give you something useful than sell you something shiny.
If you want the longer version, or the poems, or the pictures, they're just down the path.
About Killy Killette
Killy Killette is a musician, artist, and poet building a heavy world of sound and story. As the mind behind sludge/doomcore project Roux Garoux and the community hub Trouble & Co., Killy bends slow riffs, sub-bass weight, and ritual cadence into something both intimate and apocalyptic.
The Killette universe stretches across dark music, graphic work, poetry, and scene-building. From bleak, cinematic visuals to text-driven pieces and the Killette DSP tools for producers, everything is tuned for artists who live in the shadows but build their own light.

Two main paths into the Killette world — the band and the community.
You've come past the last porch light.
The road keeps going. It always does. I keep a shop, and there's a room for people who want to stay a while.
I'm still at the fire. Come back whenever.
Stand still a minute.
You're not the only one who stopped to listen.
That's the end of the trail.
