SoundClick artist: Daniel Nist - Hey Everyone! This is Daniel formerly of A World Without Reason. Welcome to my personal music pag

A World Without Reason was my brain child from my late high school years into my college years. My main goal was to play music for the sake of playing music. I could have cared less (and still could care less) about the super mega record deal or "making a lot of money." For me the best times are just jumping on a stage put together half assed at someone's house and just playing.

As of now I am a band of one, but I am still very active and enjoy playing despite the lack of other band members. I would love to get a group back together, but for now it's just me. Not sure what else there is to say, but if you want to know more, ask!

Daniel - A World Without Reason

P.S. If you want to learn some of the techniques I used, do not be afraid to ask me to help you out (assuming I can actually perform the task). :-)

Why this name?

A World Without Reason was a play on words I had heard once. I remember hearing someone say "In a world without reason, insanity is the sanest thing." For some reason, the "A World Without Reason" part just stuck and I liked it.

Do you play live?

I do not play live right now, but would like to at some point again if anyone wants to help me out.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

I got my bachelor's degree in Computer Science specializing in Software Engineering, so for me the Internet (mp3s etc...) run through my veins about as much as music does. I am all for the digital age.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

On one stipulation, the music that gets produced and distributed is the the raw music created by me and my fellow bandmates and is at our discretion.
