Frequency440 is a one man band, i produce all sorts of stuff under different names such as Digital Distorion, Heterogeneous and Misguided Skill. Ive been making music for about 4 years now and recently started to get inspiration for mellow chillout hip hop kind of stuff. i usually try to add my own slice individuallity and like to think i acheive this. I think im still really in the developing stages but hopefully some of the stuff ive been doing will be signed by a small underground label 'A3 records' which have asked me to make a few alterations and they might play it at there next organised night.
Why this name?
The name really wasnt that much of a well thought out thing unlike most my other names i go under. i just felt it suited what i do.
Do you play live?
so far i havnt played live but im gonna start organising my live acts once ive finished the album and the rest of my studio.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think the internet and MP3's have dramaticly changed the music industry as its allowed people to hear things they never even new existed and so has started to push the crap out the way and allow some real talent to start shinning through.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
yes i would sign a deal with a major lebel without them we wouldnt have the smaller ones keeping the industry running, i would just make sure there not ripping me off first of all.
Band History:
I grew up in London and then about 5 years ago i moved down to Bognor Regis with my aunt, uncle and cousins at the south of the UK. I got into computers more and more deeply as my cousin chris who i was living with is a computer programmer and as i got into them i eventually came across some software named ejay (i know its lame an all but we gotta start somewhere) and with the help of another cousin Mark who had got into music a few years back him self he gave me a copy of Magix Music Studio which was difficult but fun to learn. since then ive moved on alot and now study at Northbrook College doing Music Tech and its great.
Your influences?
My main Music influences actually are HYBRID and ALANIS MORISSETTE but other influences include Chemicial Brothers, Kosheen, Dj Shadow, BT, Way Out West, plump dj's, Placebo, radiohead, boards of canada, lamb, rage aainst the machine. as you can see my main inlfluence comes from breakbeat but i enjoy pretty much all forms of music (probably why i like breakbeat as its such a collage of all music forms)
Favorite spot?
My Home Studio
Equipment used:
Im preety much just using my computer at the mo with Cubase SX, Orion Pro, Wavlab 4.0 and various VST's.
