Richard deCosta, a.k.a. Doctor Eternal is completely obsessed with music; particularly orchestral music and opera. Since hearing Richard Wagner's Siegfried for the first time at age 9, he has spent every possible waking moment learning and honing the craft of composition, arranging and recording. His first symphony was composed at age 12, and his first opera at 16.

Despite warnings against such behavior, Richard has been known to go 18+ hours without food or break when composing. He has been found asleep at his desk many times. During these binges, he often wakes up realizing he's been writing a space opera with singing aliens. Go figure.
