This is EchozAurora, born in early 2006 after years of dabbling in music of all sorts. I don't really fit into a single genre, but if you like trance, ambient, DnB, industrial, IDM, classical, dance, house, electronica, experimental, indie, or anything just random and delicious, then you will find something you like here. (that list is also sure to grow, give it time, I constantly experiment)
Why this name?
I don't know, that is the name that came to mind, I needed something to create my Myspace.
My best explanation:
Echoz- as in audible reflections (EchoesAurora just looks goofy)
Aurora- the effect caused by solar radiation hitting the atmosphere around the Earth's poles
Interpret that as you wish.

Do you play live?
I used to play a lot of bass guitar in praise band for the youth group I was attending, and I made a rig for my computer to play synth a few times there.
I'm hoping to land a few gigs sometime later this year.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It really opens the doors for undiscovered artists, and allows music to be made and heard anywhere in the world. A few years ago, there is no way that I'd be listening to an undiscovered artist on the other side of the world. However, now I can listen to that music, give the author suggestions, and even do a collaboration with them.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, I wouldn't mind signing with a label, because that is a great way to get music out to people. It is hard to make great music while keeping a job and going to college, but I do it anyways. Short-term contracts for games, movies, etc. would be very easy to work with, and might come around after a little more development.
Band History:
2004-started playing with a demo of Fruity Loops
2005-learned new techniques, started making longer original tracks
March 8, 2006- started EchozAurora with the song, Ripples of Light and a Myspace page to upload my music. Sky Orchestra followed two days later.
Spring Break 2006- went into a short frenzy of production, and learned how to make music on a short timeframe. 3 songs came out of this: Colorado, Summit, and Echoz from the East.
Summer 2006- Sadly, I got piles of computer problems, and production died out for a while.
Fall 2006- EchozAurora was reborn with a surge of video game remixes, followed by a whole new sound and much better music.
Notable songs: Remixes of Megaman 3, Zelda, and Mario. Original tracks Psykinetic and Orbital Reflections.
Late Fall, I found out about the useful VST format, and started trying out new plugins, this is where the current EchozAurora stems from. Notable songs: Lost Dreams, Memories.
Winter 2006- I learned how to use synthedit and made the EchozQuadOsc, my custom VST plugin.
Started an experimental phase, new styles, entered the MRAC on Newgrounds, working on some new stuff.
This is where I currently stand.
Recommendations for the current period:
December Theory
Aquaduct
StarSailing
Assault
Ancient Technology
More stuff coming soon.
