Why this name?
I chose this name because I used synn for everything else and it basically became my alias.
Do you play live?
Like many others I have seen on this site I do not play live. Techno is something that is made best at home when you are in the right state of mind. Even though I know of many artists that do play live I find that it would be far too difficult to play live with only one person.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think that the internet has expanded the possibilities of the industry of music in ways only dreamed of 10 years ago. Now anyone can hear what you have done which means that sooner or later you will have someone that will want your music.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I have thought very hard about this subject and I always seem to come back to the same conclusion, yes I would. Even though I know it would be more worth it to build my own mark in the world of music I find that if someone is willing to help you get your work out there you should take it and be grateful.
Band History:
I started off just playing on a little Casio keyboard when I was five and I haven't stopped since. I can't read music but I can still teach myself how to play Beethoven and Mozart pieces just by listening to them. I also play the drums, trumpet, guitar, bass, and almost anything else you can throw my way.
Your influences?
I think that the person that has had the biggest musical influence on my life and the way I make music would have to be Trent Reznor. I mean that man built a genre by himself how much more can you do? Another group that has influenced me is the crystal method. They brought the world of techno to the states in a big way.
Favorite spot?
I would have to say that my favorite city would have to be San Francisco just because all the people there are nice and the music scene is huge.
Equipment used:
I use a Juno 1, Fruity loops 6, Reason 1.5, Cool edit pro 2, Sonar 2, 3, and 4, and Acid pro 5.
