Me & This Website

My name is Kolit Asdo (pronounced co-leet). I am a sound engineer and artist based in San Marcos, Texas. I created kolitasdo.com for two main reasons: 1) to give you and the world some basis upon which to know me, and 2) to give my business as a sound engineer and artist a platform to promote itself.

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics, and an Associate of Applied Science in Sound Technology. My art consists of drawings, paintings, and digital designs. I am mostly a self-taught artist. I have taken a handful of art classes in my life, ranging from high school art programs to college level courses, but most of my experience comes from practicing drawing, painting, etc. on my own.

Kolitasdo.com has been a continual work in progress since 2015. Back in the day, like the 90’s, I visited the websites of nu-metal bands like KoRn, Limp Bizkit, Big Dumb Face, Insane Clown Posse, and more. In fact, I probably typed every band I know .com just to see if they had a website. Now, their websites are not the same. Many of them open straight to online stores with links to no special content. I am inspired by those early websites, which are now gone and live only in my memory. Whatever I achieve with this website, I hope to provide a space where some kid can poke around, look at some pictures, read some stuff, visit some links, and feel inspired. Enjoy!

A Quick Personal Note

I’ve heard and read a lot about how a person should not let themselves be defined by their job. I can’t argue for anyone whether or not this is true, but I must challenge this idea for myself. There are experiences I only could have had because I work in the concert industry. If I had been working for the last fifteen years in a structured, nine-to-five job at a law firm or hospital, I would not have the opportunities to acquire the unique set of experiences that can only be found in the unstructured, chaotic entertainment industry. I must, then, acknowledge the role my occupation has played in shaping who I am.

It’s important to remember that being a sound engineer is just one aspect of my life, and there are other things besides my job that contribute to my identity and personal growth, such as my family, friends, hobbies, and interests. This is the way it should be for everyone. People should not be defined solely by their job, but it’s important for me to acknowledge the role my occupation as a sound engineer has played in shaping my experiences, personal growth and who I am as a person.

None if it I did alone. I am fortunate to have had support from amazing people along the way. Credit must be given to some of these people for providing me with the opportunities that have led to my development as a professional and human being, namely, Matt Quick, Jeremiah Denning, Chris Warndhal, and Song Lee.
