Why this name?
Inner Ear, chosen from an experience I had once where I was meditating while doing long tones on bass clarinet, and my inner ear started hearing this line based off of the note I was playing at the time...pretty crazy:)
Do you play live?
Yes, with Blue Merle. It's awesome. Interaction with the other guys on stage, people and pretty girls in the audience, nailing my parts, adrenaline rushes, fun solos!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Music is more accessible to many different people, I've heard from a lot of different people that the website is the new business card, so I better get technologified.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
sure, with enough creative freedom
