1849AD
1849AD is actually one person, Daan Smit. His mission is to write music that carries you away from this world and leaves you floating in another dimension... Or maybe just to make music that everyone enjoys listening to. Anyway, its always been and always will be experimental music, with all sorts of genres mixed together. As with most music its better to listen to it than to talk about it, and on this site there a quite some songs to be found.
Im also working on some commercial- and promotion film scores, the ones ive done already will appear on this site later. Its a thing i really enjoy doing, so if theres anyone interested, feel free to sent me an e-mail.
For now, enjoy the music...
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I played for a few years in some hardcore/metal bands, but that simply wasnt satisfying my creative "vibes". So i decided to continue on my own, using my home studio. I sometimes invite friends or other musicians to record a song.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I had some live performances in Norway, where i also played Norwegian echoes for the first time live ;)
Your musical influences
My influences vary from Type O Negative to Underworld, and from Miles Davis to Prokoviev. Hard to say actually.
What equipment do you use?
