Toying with Cubase and various VST synths, I ended up with a desire of actually creating something. The aim is to merge electronica and a slight touch of dance/trance with indie and post-rock.
Ceibatree is also a way for me to walk around the reluctance I usually feel when it comes to presenting any of my works to an audience, as I'm dealing with genres I'm not very deep into, and I'm careful not to mash too much personal feelings and ambitions into the music.

Why this name?
Random googling, really... had thoughts about calling myself Opaque at first, but that was already taken by a broken beat band. Had to be something pretentious, though, and Ceibatree is pretentious.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I buy more CDs than ever, some 100 a year actually, thanks to the possibility of downloading. I am a proud downloader, and frankly, I cannot see why any record company with an open mind should lose any money. The internet is a great way to advertise your bands, and people buys good music. It's a way to finally break free from the monopoly that the huge mainstream record companies have had over the music since the late 70's. So, yeah!! Go downloading.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Possibly. I'd be willing to kiss the feet of anybody who says he likes my music.
Your influences?
Mew, Aphex Twin, Porcupine Tree, Blackfield, Opeth, No-Man, Nick Drake, Godspeed You Black Emperor, Carl Craig, Devin Townsend, Ooberman, Meshuggah, Dusty Springfield, Alice In Chains, and so on
Favorite spot?
Somewhere with a great view over the world, or somewhere in a forest without mosqitos, if there is such.
Equipment used:
Cubase, with various VST plugs. Most frequently used are Atmosphere, Korg LegacyCell and Vanguard.
I do have a shitty electric guitar, but most of the guitar work is actually my Peavey Cirrus getting distorted... also have a relatively cheap Yamaha steel-string acoustic that actually sound quite okay.
Microphone is an AKG C2000B, sound card is an M-Audio Firewire 410, and the comp is an Acer Travelmate with a bunch of digits.

Anything else...?
I'd like a cup of tea!!
