I am a 20 year old Bass player / Producer / Songwriter from Ottawa, Canada. I've been doing electronic tracks for over two years now, and I still have a long way to come. Aside from my solo production, I also rap, write solo material and am currently in three bands. Wearing myself a little thin, I know, but it never hurts to express yourself. Unless of course you express yourself by hurting someone....
Why this name?
I've always loved the term "Looter". During a drug binge, I just sort of decided upon it.
Do you play live?
No I don't, and I'm fairly shy, so it may not happen for awhile yet.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It certainly allows independant artists to voice their opinons and have their music heard far more than could be allowed 5 years ago. We've come a long way, but there's still many things left to acheive.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Sure, why not ? It seems ridiculous to avoid success simply to "spite" conglomerates and labels.
Band History:
As I said, I've been hunched over a computer screen for 2 years working on this stuff. Education has slowly gone down the drain, replaced by nightmarish visions of electronic soundscapes. Or whatever.
Your influences?
Electronic - Boards of Canada, Astral Projection, Paul Van Dyk
Rap - Nas, Jurassic 5, K-OS, Rascalz, Zack de la Rocha
Rock - Elliott Smith, The White Stripes, The Beatles, Oasis, Radiohead
Other - Portishead, Tatu (hey, the production is pretty damn enjoyable), Phantom Planet, Queens of the Stone Age, etc

Favorite spot?
Couldn't really pick one yet. I spent my entire life in a small town, now the last two years have been in a major city. For a lot of people it's the opposite. I like Ottawa a lot though.
Equipment used:
Acid, Sound Recorder, Advanced MP3 Recorder, etc
Anything else...?
Various drugs and alcohols
