It suits me and some of my friends call me it.

Yeah sometimes. When a live audience gives their energy and attention to music, it gives the music even more life than whatever's already inherent in the array of sound vibrations and the various shadows of the composer.

It's great. Freedom power to the people. Music not hostage please.

Maybe.

Orb, Aphex Twin, Download, Skinny Puppy, 808 State, Frontline Assembly, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Abba, The Beatles, Beethoven, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Van Halen, Frank Zappa, Megadeth, Metallica, Pantera, White Zombie... anything that goes in comes out eventually in one form or another.

The Great Red Spot (Jupiter). And G-Spots of course. The center of my forehead is also quite.

ACID Pro, SoundForge, Hammerhead, lotsa plugins and freeware, some Fractal Music programs, Korg Wavestation, Guitars, Bass, Drums, anything that makes a noise really - especially malfunctions and feedback loops.

"My favourite music is the music I haven't heard. I don't hear the music I write; I write in order to hear the music I haven't yet heard." - John Cage
I guess that's why I haven't spent much time playing cover tunes.
