Why this name?
Simple, it's my name.
Do you play live?
I currently teach music full-time (elementary - Junior High) And help out at my local church part-time. I really don't have time to play live regularly other than a few gigs here and there. Creating and playing music is my passion...
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think by now it already has! Downloading now is becoming the normal medium for music lovers, rather than going to the store to purchase a CD. It just is a new reality of the music business! downloading music is here to stay.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
If the opportunity would arise - Yes. I would really enjoy writing music for a outdoor type video, kids show or film soundtrack. I have written music for several small projects over the last several years, and it has given me a chance to stretch my horizons...
Band History:
I have been writing/arranging/composing for nearly 25 years. I've played all kinds of music - That's how I was able to pay my way through college, by playing music on weekends. I became a member of the Mp3.com "artist community" in 1999 - If anyone remembers the original Mp3.com site - there was an abundance of great original music on there. Unfortunately, I feel that the powers to be at Mp3.com became over anxious, and pushed the company too far, too fast - and it failed. Many good independent artists suffered as a result. I used to list my music under the name "Soulspace Music" until I decided to just list it under my name as D. E. Farmer. I thank you for listening - Enjoy the music.
Your influences?
Saint-Saens, Ray Lynch, Will Ackerman, Tom Aragon, Billy Joel, Chris Tomlin, David Crowder, Tommy Walker, John Williams, Bassic (Martin Lindhe).... a whole bunch of em!
Favorite spot?
Anywhere near the beach or mountains!
Equipment used:
Korg Triton (Extreme), Roland VS Recorder, JV-1010,Finale 2006, Ovation and Yamaha guitars, my computer etc. etc.. I love to try different instruments too.
Anything else...?
Just enjoy the music - if you like it - let me know! I think the song that really describes my life and passion right now is the song "Heart of a Servant" and "Seawind" Those two really came from somewhere deep... Especially "Seawind" if you haven't listened to it - please do... I has an "otherworldy" quality to it and I could never, ever, ever repeat that recording. Believe me I've tried! It was a one time pass recording...
