SoundClick artist: Friscodrummer - I have traveled the world singing with various diff. choirs and hope 2 bring that experience 2 u. M

Hello there,

I hope everyone likes what they hear from me. My music doesn't have characteristics of any specific genre. It's more of a mix of different genres put into one. Some call it IDM, some call it noise, and some call it pure genius. What you call it is up to you. I hope to expand a listeners mind and open it to all kinds of places. I want everyone to close their eyes and just listen to what I have and see where it takes you. I hope you enjoy and have a happy journey to your final destination where ever that may be.

Why this name?

I really don't have a band name but my artist name is Friscodrummer. It mainly stems from me being a drummer and living in Frisco, Cali.

Do you play live?

I currently don't play live because i haven't been asked to play my music anywhere. Playing live is something i hope to do sometime in the future.

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

The internet and digital music era changes the music industry a lot. No need to duplicate thousands of cds anymore with services like Itunes and Amazon.com. It also allows people to purchase individual songs without having to buy the entire album. It has also made djying a lot easier without having to carry boxes and boxes of records with them anymore. They can now load their thousands of songs on a hard drive or multiple hard drives and play their music using computer programs like Serato Scratch Live or Virtual DJ.

Band History:

I started out as a little boy singing in my first choir in 1986. Since then I have traveled the world singing in different countries, cultures, and languages. Traveling with the choir around the world was a great experience for me and I hope to bring that experience to you. I started composing music back in 2001. My first composition was "The Bee" from my first album "Manic Dilemna". Since then my compositions have grown pulling elements from Electronica, African Drumming, and Classical Contemporary.

Your influences?

My musical influences are that of African Drumming, Classical Contemporary, and Electronica. I went to my first Electronica concert in 2004 where I saw The Chemical Brothers, Sasha and Digweed and Paul Oakenfold. Since then I have added various forms of Electronica to my music collection and try to incorporate some of the Electronica elements into my music. I am also part of an African Drumming ensemble where we perform around the San Francisco area for events, parties, and schools for little and younger kids.

Favorite spot?

Even though I have traveled around the world when I was younger.,my favorite city in the whole world is still San Francisco where I currently live and grew up.

Equipment used:

I currently use my computer but hopefully I will find ones to form somewhat of a live band to go along with my computer.

Anything else...?
