Dragonspoon is the creation of Frank Aresti, former guitarist of the legendary progressive metal band Fates Warning. Dragonspoon ventures into the world of industrial music with Frank's unique style of heavy guitar riffing, and a dark, sophisticated tone. Dragonspoon will release their debut CD on Hook n Mouth Records in September of 2002. For more information on Dragonspoon, go to www.hooknmouthrecords.com and/or www.dragonspoon.com.
Band/artist history
Frank Aresti, aka Dragonspoon, has fused elements from Beck to Bjork, from NIN to Peter Gabriel, to create one of the most unique recordings around. Driving rhythms and sharp hooks guide the listener through songs rich in power and atmosphere. Dragonspoon is about focusing on songwriting and arranging, bridging elements from the worlds of electronic, industrial, metal, and trip-hop to create music rich in energy, melody, and varying textures. As diverse as those worlds are, Frank Aresti has succeeded in bringing them together in a cohesive whole that is equally at home on the radio, in concert halls, and on dance floors.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Dragonspoon currently does not play live, but may develop a live performance after their debut CD release that will incorporate technology with the dark sophisticated tone that Dragonspoon portrays.
Your musical influences
NIN, Crysal Method, Bjork, Massive Attack, crushing guitars, weird sounds, great beats, deep bass......
What equipment do you use?
I first started Dragonspoon by going out and trading some old equipment for a Boss DR-5 sequencer. The DR-5 is a great portable unit with drums, bass, keyboard sounds, and much more. I then bought a Boss BR8 to record it all. I wrote parts, sometimes beginning on the guitar, sometimes right on the DR-5, arranged them, then recorded them all by myself. Its a lot of work, and time consuming, but worth every bit of energy I put into it. All the songs Ive posted so far at were made that way. Eventually I found that I needed a lot more for what I wanted to do: a lot more resources, a lot more memory, a lot more power. I was hearing instruments that I did not have access to. I was also constantly running out of tracks and sacrificing my arrangements. I did lots of research, asked a lot of questions and decided to get into Steinbergs Cubase software for computer based sequencing and recording. I needed a new computer to handle all the software I wanted. I dont know much about computers, and I didnt want to spend any time troubleshooting, so I went to a company out of Hollywood, Florida called Audio Computing to build what I needed. They are a company that is dedicated to building computers optimized for music creation. You can visit their web-site for more info: www.audiocomputing.com. I got the Thelonius VI turn-key system, with a few modifications.

Hey, I didn't realize you had some of your Dragonspoon tunes on soundclick. I love the CD - haven't listened to it in a while so I need to give it a spin. Looking forward to the Dark Day Sunday CD - the tracks on MySpace are killer. Dave
