First things first: I'm not a musician. I played drums as a kid, but I can't play piano, read music, or even tell you what notes are what. I just push buttons until something sounds good. With that out of the way, there's not much to say about myself really. I make music as a hobby, and try not to take it too seriously - hell, I rarely finish a song anyway. I just like making music, and if you're like me, you love listening to it too. I want to make sure the tunes I make can be heard and hopefully enjoyed by as many people as possible, if not for anything else, then for the love of music.

Why this name?

BLiND was an old nickname of mine, probably my first besides "bones" (which never stuck) and since it's tattoo'd on my back, I might as well stick with it as a band name too. Eternal was a rapping name I used for a long time, and then it became DJ BLiND^Eternal when I started DJ'ing on a radio station, and I kept it for the tunes I make now. That just basically means I'll be "eternally blind." I'm an engineer for work so using the whole "^Eternal" (to the Eternal power) made sense.

Do you play live?

I've never played live, as I don't really find it interesting for electronic music. I have played live as a drummer in a punk band and in a rock band, but that was a long time ago.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

I think it's great... it offers people a chance to get their work out there and heard, and some of the lucky few who really pour their souls into their music get the chance to make it big when they wouldn't have otherwise.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

Sure, but I'd always offer my own personal music for free. Its one thing to have a job and another to have a hobby.

Band History:

If you want my band history, most of it is above this paragraph. I'm too lazy to get into the details, really. ;)

Your influences?

Crystal Method was a huge influence on me, Equalibrum was a guy who made me go out and get a drumpad on a whim, and I've been making music again since then, after having been in a 4-year slump. I get a lot of influence from video games, and some of the artists who remix video game songs (i.e. dj pretzel, Beatdrop, 1makes2, bLiNd, and more from the ocremix.org crew).

Favorite spot?

I love being here in Las Vegas for the most part, but I'd honestly rather have a house in the country again. I love having land to go ride motorcycles/quads on and just having some space to myself.

Equipment used:

Fruity Loops XXL Producer Edition, a ton of VSTs and SFs, and a lot of misc tidbits for FL. Aside from that, a lot of tweaking and mashing on the AKAI MPD24. I just picked up some tools for my Linux box, so we'll see if that brings out anything new. :)
