I donīt really know what to call my kind of music. itīs usually within metal, and itīs usually riffy with grooves and stuff. iīve always been obsessed with getting lots of athmosphere and stuff in my songs to make it full of moods and emotions etc.
Why this name?
MF = Morten Fjeld, my name
Kitten = well... small cat... cause i like those...

Do you play live?
iīm not too active when playing live, i do the ocasional gig with my band Thyron though :)
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
the internet is a fantastic way of getting your music around! i love it, and i think more artists should follow Trent Reznorīs marketing :)
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
i do want to make a living, or at least money, with my music. iīd want it to be the way i wanted it though, but seeing as thatīs a rarity, unless you make pop music, iīd rather go the NIN way and do it all on the web.
Band History:
thereīs not much history really. i started off with keyboards when i was a kid, then got a bass one day, progressed to acoustic guitar, then electric, and then itīs just gone outwards from there :P
played in a couple bands, and iīm currently in one (Thyron).

Your influences?
tons of musical influences, electronica/ambient and metal etc etc.
iīm a huge fan of Meshuggah, and i love the genres that have sort of spawned as a result of their music. bands like Periphery/Bulb, Tesseract, all the way to SikTh, Textures, all of that.
as far as electronica goes, iīve always loved Aphex Twin type stuff, and lately iīve enjoyed NIN alot. Trentīs later albums have been his best, in my opinion :)

Equipment used:
Line 6 Pod X3 Live, Agile, Ibanez, Vintage and Scehcter guitars. also Mike Sherman made a neck for one of my guitars.
i have a Samson stereo power amp to power my Pod, and i run it int a Rivera 2X12 cab with V30s in stereo. i the simultaneously run the signal into a Hartke 2X10 bass amp :D
iīve barely ever played my live rig though, as i donīt really play live with it as i had originally planed... because i donīt have a band to use it with (with my other band i use a tube amp...)
