hey there is really only one person in this little outfit, being myself, attmepting to produce some music. i am still on that novice level, as i have only been producing music for about 2 months. most is made with reason and some other random programs. i hope
Why this name?
dunno.
Do you play live?
actually i don't do any trance stuff live. i play guitar and may fill in on bass or something at local talent shows or events, but thats it. however, getting to dj lvie would be nice if i could gain the skills and the gear.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
despite the lame bullshit and actions against online mp3 music communities, i am fairly sure that it is a great chance for people to hear more music and open their ears to a variety of things. there are so many albums that i would not have bought had i not had the chance to findnew artists online. i am sure i am not the only one.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
sure. it would be a great day to actually sign to a label, but then again i think some major labels are a laod of shit. there is a fine line between signing as who you are and selling out.
Your influences?
wow, here we go. i love 311. i love incubus. somewhere between those two my favorites/influences are a fairly ecclectic spectrum of musical tastes. there is no one better on a fender strat than SRV. for electronic stuff, Paul Van Dyk is the greatest. roger sanchez is always good, as is dj tiesto and countless others. more times than anything i listen to online trance radio so it comes into my ears daily but i dont know who everyone is, so thanks to all of them. dave matthews band (old) is great, so is marley, the used, the postal service. i dont think i have time to name everyone, but there are a lot.
Favorite spot?
tough call. it is a toss-up between costa rica, anywhere in spain, but especially sevilla, destin, florida, philmont in new mexico, athens, georgia,
Equipment used:
reason 2.0, sonic foundry, acid, guitar tracks pro, fruity loops, a tascam us-122 interface, soon to be cubase(yay finally. sometime soon i plan on getting a steinberg softsynth, a controller (i use a mouse for everything) for on-electronic stuff, i use a squire strat with texas special pickups, gibson les paul standard, a fender 4x10 deville, boss phase shifter, distortion, compressor, dd3 delay a vox wah, morley bad horsie wah, dunlop hendrix fuzz, tube screamer, line 6 mm-4 modulation modeller, q-tron
Anything else...?
if anyone actually reads this or downloads a song or two from me i appreciate it mroe than anyone could possibly know. i would really love some feedback from anyone on anything, as i am fairly new to the whole electronic music scene and could use all the help and advice that anyone has to offer. thanks.
