Concept160

currently no song available...
The band is basically me and a plethora of gadgets. Mainly Concept160 is about trying something new and trying to fuse all the influences I have together. Think Aphex Twin crossed with DJ Shadow.
Why this name?
Im really bad at choosing names for things so i just thought of a word (concept) and added a number(160, as in BPM - the tempo of my first track).
Do you play live?
I am a guitarist at heart and do play live sometimes. Obviously this type of music is quite hard to do live with any real impact, there is only so music you can dowhile triggering samples...
If you make it big..?
I donnt know, im not in it for that at the moment, just for a bit of fun.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
With the arrival of memory stick technology and the general smallness of MP3 players and minidisc players, I think MP3 is the way forward. Napster has shown how easy it is to get songs and share them with a wide audience although Napster has got some basic problems. Maybe there could be a type of Napster that you subscribe to, pay a bit and then share - the record companies could be in charge and still rake it in.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes.
Your influences?
DJ Shadow is amazing, he is my main influence. I also like Aphex Twin and Squarepusher aswell as some Roni Size and other drum and bass. Mostly I listen to heav rock and metal, with a bit of funk thrown in for good measure - Incubus, deftones, filter and the like.
Favorite spot?
Hong Kong, i lived there for a year and its amazing.
Equipment used:
I use Cubase VST, Fruity Loops and Probe Synth. Most of my drums samples are off the internet but i make all the instruments myself.
Anything else...?
You feedback would be great!
