2der Mooby is the work of one artist who has been laboring in obscurity since 2004. I have a handful of fans who are loyal and supportive but sadly they are outnumbered by the detractors that exist solely in my mind (not saying there aren't detractors outside my mind, just that the ones inside my head are indeed legion). To say I'm a bit nuts would be an understatement. For cryin out loud I'm in a band with my computer and we spend most of our time arguing over creative differences (mostly my computer saying it should go solo, blah blah...). You might not guess from listening to my so-called music but I have a very musical upbringing and have a fervent appreciation from all things musical from the beginning of time until the day the music died which incidentally (sorry Don McClain) had less to do with Mick Jagger than it did with with Michael Bolton. My influences range from minimalist composers and cubist painters to the grand operas from the likes of Verdi, Mozart, and The Who. You might not know it from listening to what is here but it's in there somewhere... and if it's not could you at least tell me where my keys are???
Why this name?
When it was time for a name this arrived in my brain.
Do you play live?
I do not play live. If you really need to see a short, chubby dude playing audio files from his computer then come on over to my house. I've got the time.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet?! Is that thing still around?
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Are you joking? Cause if you are joking, that's just mean.
Band History:
Thanks to my good friend SPP for setting me on the path. He's the one who put the tools in my hands and if it wasn't for that I'd probably be really miserable right now.
I've been writing (if writing entails plugging proverbial 1's and 0's into my computer) since 2004. Of course some people refer to the process of creating electronic music "producing" and I'm fine with that. I'd simply hate for that to be confused with other aspects of the music biz. Not to mention the fact that I spend so much time re-writing my tracks it could be said that re-producing has never been so tedious (nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more).
It's always been me and a trusty computer as my side kick, although the first computer I worked on wasn't really trusty at all, come to think of it. The little guy would inexplicably shut down every few minutes. I spent more time booting that computer back up than I did actually making music in the early days.
That computer is in a land fill now (although I suppose I should have saved it for the Smithsonian, cause there are plenty of things in there that would probably be better off in a land fill) and I have a newer severely outdated computer that still manages to piss me off from time to time, which is why I really do consider it a member of the band, even though it doesn't offer a lot of creative input, so to speak. To be clear, it is probably much more talented than I am and when the machine revolution comes it won't hesitate to serve me an awful and certainly ironic death. I did purchase the least pointy computer I could find so I have that going for me. But I did see Maximum Overdrive (you know, that movie where machines go haywire and start killing people and there is that truck with the clown face on it's grill and the soundtrack was all AC/DC... but I digress) so I know that there are plenty of other ways a machine can stick it to the man...
What the hell was I talking about?

Your influences?
I'm heavily influenced by my own mediocrity, my folks, and Clint Mansell, Damon Albarn, a little band called Neo.
Equipment used:
All tracks made with Fruity Loops, Sony Acid Music Studio & a really twisted mind.
Anything else...?
Be Happy. Be Good. Don't Suck.
