Foxglove is reference to a character from the Neil Gaiman's Comic "Sandman". The 9 is a reference to Plan 9 from Outter Space.

I play live all over the city basically just about anywhere someone would let me play, I'll play it. There's a special energy playing live that I just love, I also appreciate the unexpectated things than can and usually do go wrong.

Yes, file sharing is one of the greatest things to happen to the music industry and also the worst. The best thing is the ability to find rare and new music from all around the world. Previously to MP3's and high speed access, I would trade cassettes via snail mail, or promote my music in fanzines. But now everything is online and available for people to hear all around the world...instant access. But there are also piracy issues of distributing music without the artists permission which is an unfortunately side-effect of MP3's. I don't agree with people downloading an album when this artist is trying to make a living and their CD is easily accessible in any online or retail store. But in some ways the industry hurt themselves by overcharging in CD's for so many years and reluctant to work with the internet rather than against it.

Definitely, but realistically..an offer will never happen.

When Foxglove9 first started learning an instrument she was invited to play keyboards in a high school band called Purrgatory. Her first show, not even owning a synthesizer, she had to borrow a portable yamaha toy keyboard from a friend. In early 1992 she started experimenting with MIDI sequencing on a Korg M1 and 386/33 PC and became interested in writing music all to herself. When her band departed, she decided to pursue her solo career as a songwriter and begin sequencing music and experimenting with sampling, while her friend would supply the vocals when needed.

My musical styles are influenced by old Video Games, Movie Scores, Classical, Industrial, Dark Techno, experimental and lo-fi sounds. Some of the artists that I've looked to for inspiration are NIN, Coil, Wendy Carlos, Yuzo Koshiro, and Alec Empire.

Being from NYC, I'm very used to the fast paced life here. I can't say it's my favorite spot as that would be limiting myself. The one thing bad about playing music in the city is everything is so close together it's near impossible to own a drum kit in your apartment without your neighbors calling the cops for noise pollution. Which is why I think electronic music is popular around here, because you can play it on speakers or headphones and disturb no one. I'd like to one day spend some time somewhere more spread out, quieter, where I can think clearer.

I like using lo-fi, dirty, gritty, cheesy sounding instruments. The simpler the interface, the better, as I find limitations in instruments force me to be more creative. I also dabble in circuit bending a little because of the crazy noises than can be produced and creating a very unique instrument that no one else in the world has. Some equipment I use: Korg MS2000, Sidstation, Cheap Yamaha and Casio keyboards, Atari 2600 and an Airsynth..plus for mixing a Mac with Logic and Protools, with lots of softsynths and samplers.
