For the solo project: It's my name... so... yeah. =D

For Apnea: I didn't pick the name, as I wasn't a founding member of the band.

Yes, I play live at open mics whenever I hear of them and if I know where they are. I'm also going to start doing other shows besides open mics. I've been doing it since I was 12 and I love it.

It's more convenient than driving down to Newbury Comics every time you wanna get a new CD or two, I can tell you that. Though in some cases getting a physical copy of an album is better (autographing at concerts and stuff), but if there's an album that only has one or two good tunes on it and the rest is shit, iTunes would be your best bet there.

For now, no. I'd actually like to keep the rights to my music. Later, maybe, but as of right now I'm gonna stick to my self-promotion and stuff like that.

I've been playing with other bands, but I hadn't done any solo recording work until December 2007. It's been working out well so far, but I find it difficult to get ideas for new songs (although occasionally I do get a spike in ideas, which I try to take advantage of if possible)

As a vocalist, I'm influenced by Mikael Akerfeldt (Opeth), Nikola Sarcevic (Millencolin), and of course, my father, Edmund Lowe.

As a guitarist, I'm influenced by Mikael Akerfeldt (Opeth), Peter Lindgren (ex-Opeth), Chad Kroeger (Nickelback), Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree) and Jerry Cantrell (Alice in Chains).

As a bassist, I'm influenced by Colin Edwin (Porcupine Tree) and Martin Mendez (Opeth)

As a drummer, I'm influenced by Martin Lopez (ex-Opeth/ex-Amon Amarth), Brann Dailor (Mastodon) and Fredrik Larzon (Millencolin).
