Why this name?
It was an appropriate nickname at work.
Do you play live?
Given that everything I do happens with a mouse and keyboard, it would be difficult to perform live.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Obviously, the internet and the growth of the mp3s format has drastically altered the music industry. Up and coming bands are able to share their music to listeners around the world, instead of just at the local bar or club where they play. The problems are still exposure and sound quality.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
That would depend entirely on the circumstances.
Your influences?
I have pretty ecletic tastes, but I find I am most interested in electronic artists like New Order, Deep Dish, The Crystal Method, Thomas Dolby, Massive Attack, Cibo Matto, De La Soul, and a variety of others. Given those "influences," I should be working on dance music, but it's just not working out that way.
