Band/artist history
Having spent many years yearning to pursue a lifetime passion, circumstances in life have enabled Ajax Beatphreaker (aka FULCRUM aka Beatphreaker) to pursue that passion - electronic-based music. From ABC to YMO. Everything is based in rhythms of life. Pulses. Codes. Numbers. Time.
Electronic music and sound experimentation has always been a fascination to Ajax Beatphreaker. It was something which has intrigued him like nothing else. From hearing the strange, haunting rendition of Jimi Hendrix's version of "The Star-Spangled Banner", with its other-worldly sounds and effects "...inspired me to make music in any manner or form. I'm not a DJ, but the way that my music is performed it is like a DJ in the aspect that I can change and combine different beats or textures as I see fit." Having grown up in the formative years of new wave, electro-pop, disco, and "...virtually everything else that I had heard", electronic music played an important part in his life. "Music moves in 20 year cycles, usually, so this is something that I had loved for years and it is a part of me and I felt that if I could combine the old with the new in electronic and perform it live, then I might be able to connect all of the pieces of music that I have in my head and expunge it like opening a channel of communication between myself and others." Why the name FULCRUM? "For me, it means a focal point where all of the genres and things that I have listened to in my life, as far as electronic music is concerned, connects and becomes something more than the sum of its parts. I hope to dispell some of the myths about electronic music." On taking a minimalistic approach to music: "For the time being, music changes or evolves and I am sure that I will do the same as well, but this is fun! With just a beatbox and a monophonic synthesizer, it enables me to create and experiment on-the-spot. You don't need a ton of equipment to make something decent. You don't need the latest, fastest, most software-riddled computer! I can go, set up, and play just about anywhere. I will be adding bits of kit in the future as soon as I can. There is a sense of danger - a random element when playing live that is unique. The funny thing is that, chances are, I won't perform the same piece in the same way twice due to the way the music is structured by being unstructured. It keeps it fresh and exciting." Ajax is a self-taught multi-instrumentalist. "I am a bass player by trade but I love everything else. I play a few other instruments as well including programming sounds for synthesizers!" His music? "A combination of many different styles and genres of electronic music. I listen to just about everything and I believe that there is good music in every genre-unfortunately, you don't get to hear it on a grander scale. It's not that you don't have a choice, it's that you are not given a choice. You have to seek it out." His plans for the future? "I just hope to travel, perform and create, make a career out of doing what I love to do and if I can share music with others, I hope that it opens a few eyes and ears and inspires someone in the way that it has inspired me."
