SoundClick artist: nerBeater - I like mysterious, compelling sounds. I experiment with beats, ambience. I like irregular harmony.

I like music and interesting sound. I am learning to shape and express the sounds that I imagine. Sometimes with input or assistance from friends, I usually work on my music alone. I have only recently started to make music, and am learning more all the time.

If you click on "store" to right --------->
You can give me some money for some of my mp3's.
All of the mp3's are available for free download too, but the cost of my equipment and software has gone beyond $1000 by now, from summer earnings at a slave job. I could use some bucks. I have near zero money right now. I'm a poor university student who depends on being in debt to the Canadian government. I don't want to deprive listeners my music, so consider supporting the artists you like so they can keep giving to your ears!

HEY! If you notice my music is creative commons licenced for your use in derivative works, and if you wish for higher bitrate versions of my songs for your use, just send me an email via the link to the right, and I'll get back to you.

Why this name?

The first four letters of my name when reversed spell nerB
and I like making beats.

Do you play live?

I have not played live yet, except
with a friend between ourselves in his living room
until we're both passing out at 4:29 am.
I like to improvise with my equipment,
playing with effects and audibly experimenting, and I foresee wanting to design sets of sounds
to incorporate into live performance improvization.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

The internet makes a neat evolution
possible for musical expression and perception.
The free flow of global information can lead to
creative discovery and sharing over
previously unsurpassed distances.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

Perhaps. I don't really care for anything else from a market than an ability to mutually share creative expressions.

Band History:

I downloaded a demo of Fruity Loops in March 2005, using illegal samples to make a few shitty tracks that sounded weird. The FL demo lets you export to mp3, but the samples were not mine.

I bought Ableton Live in July after checking it out in June. Slowly I have collected equipment together and I'm making all my own sounds or using what has come packaged along with my software and equipment. I'm having a lot of fun now.

I find making music helps schizophrenia, which I have. I have succumbed at times to intense delusional belief and experienced twisted hallucinations. When I settled, I wanted my mind to keep bending things, but certain ideas wouldn't bend or would flow too freely around my imagination. Sound design exhilarates my senses. Music allows me to explore emotionally and rationally stimulating creativity without getting sidetracked in the twisted sounds of a schizophrenic mind. Indeed, some of those twisted sounds influence my musical behaviour. Some of my music comes out of dark chaos in the quest for an elusive reality.

Your influences?

Ambient, Break, and Experimental sounds influence
both cacophonic and peaceful flows,
at different paces and levels of perceptual weirdness.

The first cds I was given or ever had were
one by 2unlimited, dance mix '94, and one by salt 'n peppa.
I grabbed Marilyn Manson, NIN, and Korn as quickly as I could.
Then leaping between and to Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Rheostatics, Matthew Good Band,
to Boards of Canada, Autechre, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Mogwai,
to Bjork, Sigur Ros, Mum, Sjon,
to Lithuanians at surfaces (srfc) netlabel and at sutemos netlabel,
to Kyprios, K-Os, Declining Amphibean Phenomenon,
to Atrium Carceri, Kompressor, Ganga Giri, and

to the weird, wondrous rarities like many on Soundclick.

Favorite spot?

late night with an empty house for as loud as I want to be with equipment..... or on the beach with some hand drums and my voice...... these would be my favorite spots having to do with music, ...

Equipment used:

I use the audio-midi sequencer and production software Ableton Live, a midi controller UC-33e, a mixer Alesis USB-8, microphones, a midi-outputting keyboard.
I use an Audiophile 2496 for recording and rendering.

I mix from microphones or what-have-you-for-instrument into computer and render on my computer.

I primarily use Live's synthesizer called Operator for tune and harmony..

I am currently looking for a turntable to put some vinyls I have to use (but I don't ever imagine myself being a two-table live spinner. I'm more curious to incorporate voice-record and scratch samples into my music. I like spinning words.)

Anything else...?

Please care about sound perception:

invest in good headphones and/or speakers!

A note on intended meanings:

I aspire to create a field of resonance that my body fits in. I swear or will die trying to immerse myself into audio for our great
Atmospheric Wave Carrier,
the sounding
sky beyond any person.

I like silly, dark, jolting, fastening sounds.
I believe in harmonic dischord.
I pursue natural rhythms.
Sentience has vivified experience
by enabling intelligent sound design
that enlivens and brings forth
animusical perception.

Poetry, philosophy, psychology, science...my
interest in these disciplines coincides with
earnest aspiration to mystify and beautify all
sentient activity of feeling what we choose
to manifest of our minds in our world.

I'm one of these:
mIdI-PeTs====>musIcally divIded Progressive Tonalists.

...creature friends that don't quiet down, even or especially when given adequate attention.
