Artist Interview
An Exclusive with PaperTape
|
More than a dj/producer, PaperTape (alias Tony) is the Digital Musician who has made a reputation in musical arts. Started with violin and piano at the age of 6, he was selected as the finalist for Governor School of Music and became a musical artist who contributed in various shows and acts. After accomplishments as a solo violinist with numerous awards, he has started producing/mixing/recording and dj'ing. With his heart in capturing variety of talents, he is PaperTaping unsubstantiated artistry with PaperTape Production. Below is an exclusive interview with the artist and SOUNDCLICK |
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
PaperTape: I think it changed the industry a lot. If it wasn't for mp3 and the internet, I would never have thought of producing my own music the way I want and feel. It has brought some open doors.
Your influences?
PaperTape: M-flo has been my biggest influence. When I first heard them in HS I was astounded by their versatility and ability to mix different genres and sound good.
I am also deeply inspired by Monkey Majik, more of my style of music. They have good lyrics and tunes that just make you want to sing.
Other than that I like various musical artists including Death Cab, Jack Johnson, The Strokes, Snow Patrol...
But my music doesn't limit to just one genre. I'm just not all that into "today's" Hip/Hop and popular stuff.
Favorite spot?
PaperTape: NYC, Taipei, but the best place to be is with friends who care and make you happy
Equipment used:
 PaperTape: I started with Cool Edit Pro (now evolved into Adobe Audition) and Fruity Loops. I had some ideas and wanted to put it on something more tangible than just paper and voice.
Then I used Sonar on a Toshiba, it was great... allow me to do a lot of things I wasn't aware of. But my laptop reached it's limit so I decided to run Macbook Pro with Logic and Reason |
Anything else...?
PaperTape: I believe in following one's heart
