As I work with different kinds of equipment and grow my musical vocabulary, this project will stand as a record of my development. A wide range of styles are represented, I never tie myself down to any one genre.
Why this name?
A fusion of Rosencrantz from Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead and Wonko the Sane from The Hitchhiker Trilogy, with a z to make it xhardxcorex
Do you play live?
I don't yet have the equipment to play live, but I'm hoping that I can change that soon.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It increases the volume of music out there, and makes it easier to determine what is good and what is crap. Unfortunately, it also enhances the effects of Sturgeon's law.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Never.
Band History:
Early in 2004, a friend showed my SynFactory, a simple demonstration of modular synthesis. Later on I became familiar with Midi sequencing, but I have taken a self taught and mostly naive attack to everything, exploring the world of music with innocent eyes.
Your influences?
Otomo Yoshihide and Sachiko M's stripped down soundscapes, the Flatform music of Milton Babbit and Chris Bailey, and a myriad others.
Favorite spot?
There's a lake called Washbasin in the mountains of northern California, miles from the nearest road and completely cut off from the world.
Equipment used:
Whatever PC is handy, Scala, Synfactory 1.16, Midget Midi Sequencer, Audacity, a Tape recorder, Found Objects, eKeys MIDI controller
Anything else...?
Music has lost all meaning beyond how enjoyable it is to listen to, so to infuse it with new meaning we must celebrate and explore the world it inhabbits, that of sounds, rhythm, tone.
