SoundClick artist: Descent Psychosis - an odd combination of soundscapes, IDM, Isolationist and other styles all wrapped in a burrito of ur

At the time the name was chosen, I was going through a lot of battles with internal demons. At the time I was sure I was descending into utter madness, or a descent psychosis.

Do you play live?

Never. Though I have been known to DJ a little.

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

It finally levels the playing field, or at least it should. Makes it so that it is much easier to sell to people you will never see or meet.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

Only if I had a team of highly trained attack lawyers to go over the contract with a comb.

Your influences?

Autechre, Coil, Foetus, AFX, Skinny Puppy/Download/aDuck, Soundscapes, good soundtracks to bad sci-fi movies, William Gibson, William S. Burroughs, Pigface, Pig, IDM, Isolationists, Techno Animal, Scorn, Main, DJ Spooky, The KLF, Final Cut, L1ck, a billion other things.

Favorite spot?

Chinatown in Chicago

Equipment used:

Many Macs, Alesis D4, Yamaha TX81Z, Yamaha PTX8, Roland Juno, EMAX II, Logic, Reason, GarageBand, A lot of freeware plug-ins, Acid, a PC, assorted metal and wooden things I find around.

Anything else...?

beware the vicious armies of attack coconuts that you find in the south-west

I'm a fan!
