Omnos - "Dark Acoustic Music For The Soul"
Why this name?
Omnos = Dream Lord
Check my message board for the full run down. Thanks Rexx for solving the mystery!!!
Do you play live?
Not often anymore. I play mostly church events, but have played some Goth clubs as my "sound" is nice and dreary and fits well.
I love playing live when there is a large appreciative audience. There's a great "high" after a good performance.
My most memorable performance was at Fusions in Waikiki at a Goth Night. People were taking pictures as I played, and I felt especially "on".
Perhaps with this album I will begin performing live again...........
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
MP3's and the internet have revolutionized the music industry. Single downloads are becoming the "weapon of choice" amongst listeners tired of the "big single, boring album" syndrome. No longer can artists get lax in the commercial affairs. If every song is not high quality, it will no longer sell....Artists must take great pains to put out quality music or suffer commercial failure. Viva la Underground!!!!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I'm hoping that a small label like Projekt might sign me. Probably mostly for distribution purposes but I love to network with other artists in the realm.
Band History:
"Omnos" was born after a few other incarnations including my proper name and "Solace Eterna". I do most of my writing and performing solo, but my wife sang background on my last album and I have some remixes in the works(and some finished) for this album as I *love* electronic music as well.
I will continue to record all acoustic music under this name but may branch out and begin programming electronic music with acoustic touches under other monikers.
Your influences?
My "acoustic" influences are: Tons of Metal bands including: Morbid Angel, Deicide, Testament and *way* too many more to mention(I get tired just thinking about it). I play many "broken" and open chords using triads and other finger-placements that amuse me. I really try to be different and I can't think of anyone in particular to compare myself to.
One person said "Death In June" and I may be similar to Ostara but my lyrical approach is unique to myself. You tell me!!!!
Favorite spot?
In my wife's arms, anywhere in the universe.......
Equipment used:
Yamaha "Eterna" guitar, Ibanez amp and Sennheiser microphone. Also a Boss BR-1180 Recording Studio.
Anything else...?
