"...sound design for an imaginary life"
Do you play live?
I hope to begin playing live later this year or early next year.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
When you talk about the internet and its' influence on the music industry you cannot underestimate its' impact. The internet has removed the barriers between artist and consumer. As an artist I can directly reach my audience; I no longer have to have a middleman involved. The consumer is no longer just a "consumer" but an active participant in the career of the artist. Consumers now can remix, promote and even participate in the funding of the artists' work. The internet is to put it simply, the single most powerful tool for me as an artist.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
No...
Band History:
subduxtion is the pseudonym of U.S. based electronic musician/producer Christophe G. Residing previously in the vacuous sprawl of Orange County, Ca. now having re-located to Chicago, Il. subduxtion creates music that is equal parts low frequency sculpture and soundtrack inspired. Combining my love for film music and "glitch" programming with drum & bass, circuit bending, dub, dancehall, hip-hop and metal; I strive to create something that is both atmospheric and head-nodding. I think of myself as an abstract sound - sculptor not a songwriter (in the traditional sense). Sound - sculpting is more about creating a cinematic environment. With most of my music being instrumental there is a deliberate attempt to create something that provokes the imagination. Stimulate the mind and the body will follow.
