My name is Brandon Mogg, and I play guitar for the band, mojque. Computer recording has allowed me to exploit my creativity, and often become a hermit in the eyes of society. I record guitar, bass, and most recently vocals, in an attempt to immortalize my song ideas (so I won't forget them overnight).

Some of the older stuff is Fruity Loops, Battery Drums, and Line6 POD 2.0. The newer stuff is DFHS and Line6 Toneport. The transition to the better equipment is painfully apparent.
Why this name?
qmp stands for Question Mark Pizza. "wtf mate?", one might ask. It's a metaphor (but it actually happened). 'Pizza' is my music, and 'question mark' is the descriptive type. Since it's pizza, you know you'll like it, but the type of pizza is constantly changing, thus residing in a state of perpetual ambiguity. Hopefully, this mindset curbs the tendency to create lofty expectations, and my music can be experienced worry-free!
Do you play live?
The band does. We played almost everywhere in DFW until most the clubs started shutting down. Dallas has certainly lost its metal edge. We also played in Wichita Falls, Lawton, and Houston. Now just... anywhere in DFW area.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It allows music to be shared more readily. I can put demos up, exchange ideas with the more educated, and get feedback on my recordings. Fantastic tool. (this question seems dated, Mr. Soundclick)
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
That would be neat but, these days, you have to be weary of those who seek to take advantage.
Band History:
In the winter of 2004, I began recording single guitar riffs after years of tabs, which do not carry any rhythmic notation. By the end of 2005, I was recording several layers of guitars, earning a Bachelors in Multi-Track Guitar Recording. Soon after, an acquaintence introduced me to Fruity Loops, which I worked with feverously in 2006, annointing myself a Masters in Drum Programming using Fruity Loops. I then sought my Ph.D, so I upgraded my entire recording setup, dropping tens, if not hundreds of dollars into new hardware and software. The status of my dissertation can best be reflected in my most recent recordings on this very website. Please, refrain from referring to me as "Dr. qmp" as the RIAA has not yet recognized my educational efforts.
