Why this name?
Why the name "Soundclick," eh?
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think the internet and MP3 (despite what record labels and the RIAA would tell you) has definitely changed the music industry for the better. Smaller artists and labels are getting a bigger voice and therefore are getting the respect they deserve.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
It really depends on what is meant by "major label". I'd sign on to an indie label, but probably not anything really big.
Band History:
Way back when I was about three or so, I was at a gatherinng. There was a guy there playing an electric guitar, and I just thought that was the coolest thing and that I had to have one. (Never did get it :-P)
Fast-forward eleven or twelve years. I got, by chance, a demo of ReBirth RB-338 and Cubase from someone who works in music. Soon after, I got a keyboard (a Casio WK-1300) and a MIDI interface for my computer. I started making simple ambient pieces, using the keyboard's built-in record function. (Unfortunately, they, as well as the copies of them have since been destroyed due to my stupidity and a very tragic HD crash. So much for rearranging them in Reason, eh?)
Soon after that, I got the full version of ReBirth and my style took a near-180 turn and went more towards trance. I'll put some of those up soon... no, really!
Anyways, now that I have Reason, I seem to be shifting back to my old style while still making some trancey stuff for fun.

Your influences?
There are really too many influences to list, as I am really influenced by pretty much everything I hear. But in listing the sounds I am most influenced by, I'd probably have to say Vangelis, not that I would ever compare my work to his. I'm also very much influenced by artists I hear on DI.fm Chillout and SomaFM Drone Zone
Favorite spot?
Quebec, Canada. It's just really beautiful there.
Equipment used:
I just use my Apple TiBook G4 at 800MHz with Reason 3 and ReBirth 2.1 on the hard drive, a Mark of the Unicorn FastlaneUSB MIDI interface and a Casio WK-1300. I also have an Evolution UC-33e which I use to control the synths and mixer in Reason
Anything else...?
I'm 19 going to the University of New Haven for a degree in music.
