In 1996 (circa) I came up with this concept, a bit of an alter ego for me to expand into. Therefore I suppose, when I make music, WHITE PLEASURE acts as my stage name. I thought the name sounded somewhat elegant, somewhat menacing.

This is strictly a homestudio recording program. I have no aspirations to play out live.
But, I am a keyboard player in 3 other active bands:
-THE SILENCE (www.thesilence.cc)
-THEE HOLOGRAMZ
-BIG BIG LORDZ
Some of these bands play out in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area. I get a kick out of playing music to a live audience, especially when no one knows what to expect.

When properly used, the internet can help promote, or shed light upon many wonderful things that might otherwise go sadly unnoticed.

Would I sign to a major label? Not likely.
Would I sign to a quaint small lable just to get my music to a wider audience? This is more of a possibility.

WHITE PLEASURE started as an ultra low-fi bedroom project in about 1994. Equipment got a bit better, musicianship improved, new recordings came about and the name WHITE PLEASURE was chosen. Shortly thereafter, equipment got even a bit better still and musicianship further improved... more recordings were made and never released.
Roughly 200 unreleased songs later, a serious musical project was undertaken in November of 2002. Fourteen songs were recorded, 13 of them are being released. All recordings will be showcased on my own 'record label' FUTURE 1980 AUDIO.

KEEP YOUR LIFE SIMPLE & SEXY.

And in defense of my synth-out. I do not make loops, I do not sequence, I do not cut and past elements to make songs. WHITE PLEASE is a hardware, non-software oriented outfit. This is for 2 reasons:

1. I prefer to play my rhythms beat by beat and I enjoy playing even the most repetitious synth lines over and over because of anomalies that make the music a bit more organic with a lot left to chance.

2. I have no clue how to sequence, make loops and cut and paste songs together. I don't really want to and I don't quite have the software to make that happen. Like I said, I like to keep things simple and sexy.

That is all of the horn tooting for now.
