Shiryu is the alias of music enthusiast, Gonçalo Jorge M.C. Lopes (me).
No instruments, no sequencers.
I have nothing but my PC, quality software, the time (ever so short) & love for music.
Some of my friends also say I have the talent.
This is what I want to find out.
I´ll just put my stuff here and wait for feedback.
Why this name?
Shiryu is the short for one of my favourite VG characters , Strider Hiryu. It's also a name from the Dragon Knight from famous anime Saint Seya.
Do you play live?
No. But who knows...
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
They changed the "middle man" between artist and fan.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I don't think so.
Band History:
This is a one man project, that started long, long time ago.
Unlike most people, I´ve always loved video game music and everything related to Electronic music.
I started on MODs when I had an Amiga 500 and moved on to a PC (passing by a SNES, wich is also a very big musical reference).
When the PSX finally came out, I bought it for a single game, WipeOut.
WipeOut became more than just a game, it influenced my entire taste for music as well.
I decided that even without knowledge or equipment, I wanted to do more than just listen.
