M Band is an Electronica music project I started on my own. Hope to be joined by others to make it more of a collaborative thing.
Why this name?
Used to get kidded way way back in high school and decided to shorten the name I got kidded with. I wikipedia'd it, and it also turned out to be a range of radio frequencies.
Do you play live?
I did, but not recently. My most memorable gig was way back in 1983 or so I played an orginal punk/new wave band at the Lit Club in Hartford CT. One of my coolest memories.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It changes everything. The whole distribution business model that was used now has to be thrown out. The real music business may now only be in live performance, with recordings simply acting as marketing tools. Just MHO.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Small independent companies that distribute to DJ's are more to my liking. But, like I said above, it's all changed.
Band History:
Played together with high school and college friends for years. Gave it up after working real hard at it for a while, but kept woodshedding. Found that I loved composing though and took it back up especially with new technology making recording so easy.
