Ancient Aliens is mostly the combination of 2 previous groups and the ideas that put them in motion. The original project started out as an Ambient/Breakbeat base called 'Configuring The Armature.' After some time of song development, the ideals for new songs become harder and more vast. While CTA was put on hiatus, another project sparked up, being more of a softer beat based Ambient base called 'Monuments & Isotopes.' After some time, CTA and Monuments & Isotopes central ideas started to merge, thus come the decision to take the best songs from both, compile them together and finish off with newer songs, which is now promptly named 'Ancient Aliens.'
Why this name?
The original name of the group was going to be 'Above Top Secret' and the album was going to be 'Reckless Endangerment' but I was looking for symbols from a History Channel DVD i borrowed from a friend which was titled Ancient Aliens. I decided to move 'Above Top Secret' as the album name and re-named the artist to 'Ancient Aliens.'
Do you play live?
Currently, this project is underground and not many people know about it. Eventually, it would be nice to have enough recognition to be able to do live shows.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think the internet is the best possible way for the most amount of people to hear your music. This being, it helps shape many original ideas. A lot of the music I listen to is a reflection of the music I produce, and without the Internet most of those artists I probably would never have found.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
That I would. I've actually looked into sending a demo tape to a semi-known label called Ghostly International, but their website said they had too full of a roster.
