Black Swan Productions comes from the Black Swan Theory: The theory was described by Nassim Nicholas Taleb in his 2007 book The Black Swan. Taleb regards many scientific discoveries as black swans—"undirected" and unpredicted. He gives the rise of the Internet, the personal computer, the first world war, as well as the September 11, 2001 attacks as examples of Black Swan events.[1]

The term black swan comes from the ancient Western conception that 'All swans are white'. In that context, a black swan was a metaphor for something that could not exist. The 17th Century discovery of black swans in Australia metamorphosed the term to connote that the perceived impossibility actually came to pass. Taleb notes that John Stuart Mill first used the black swan narrative to discuss falsification. I like the term "Black Swan Event" because Black Swan has a central and unique attribute: the high impact. The idea and claim is that almost all consequential events in history come from the unexpected—while humans convince themselves that these events are explainable in hindsight.

Not at the moment. Right now I am looking for vocalists/rappers to do a show it.

I think it is an awesome thing because having the internet (and MP3s) basically gives power back to the people; and the people being the artists (not the consumer). I'm not going to touch on the illegal music downloading aspect of the internet and music industry; what is more interesting to me is the idea that you can get your music out there without having to have major financial backing from a record label (or anyone for that matter). Before, if you wanted to have your music heard on the other side of the country, you had to rely on the label to produce enough of whatever (CDs, tapes, records etc.) and physically ship them to various parts of the country. Now, if you have something people want to listen to, all you have to do is upload it somewhere and they will at least have relatively easy access to it; and that is what I think is awesome.

Yes. It's easy to talk about record companies when they're not offering you anything...

I have been playing music for over 6 years. I think that's pretty historical.

First off I love hip-hop. True, creative, hip-hop. I once saw a shirt that read "Hip-Hop = Rap - Lies" and that pretty much sums up my sentiments exactly. But that in now way limits my musical taste or influences. I am influenced basically by good music; I really don't care where it came from. I enjoy songs written by Dolly Parton, Dr. Dre, Outkast, Johnny Cash, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Tool, Radiohead, NIN, Michael Jackson, Led Zepplin, Incubus, Scott Storch, Lil Wayne, Timberland, Micky Avelon... basically I sample records from all different time periods, and all different locations of the world, and all different genres. My philosophy is: If it is good music, I will recognize it as good music. That means that it could be a song written by someone I detest in a genre I hate; but if it is musically good I can't say I won't love the song.

As of now I am producing songs using a Korg Triton keyboard, an Akai MPC 1000 drum machine/sampler, a Stanton turntable and mixer, as well as a host of other bongo drums, tambourines, shakers and other percussive instruments. Occasionally, my songs will also feature electric and acoustic guitars; I have friends play to my instrumentals and provide me with samples to arrange throughout the song. Finally, I record the songs into my computer (MacPro) using a Digi003 and ProTools.

My instrumentals are for sale.
I am always looking for new artists to collaborate with.
