Kelly Forte
I like to compose eclectic music and will fuse two unrelated genres at times (the genres I like to combine the most are ambient, new age, world music, and classical). I love to use reverb in most of my pieces. On occassion, I will compose a piece mainly for piano, since I am learning to play piano in the present time.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I started composing at the age of fourteen during Christmas in 2004, when I recieved Reason 2.5 for the first time.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I don't play live, not yet.
Your musical influences
I have several influences: David Arkenstone, Yanni, Bjarne O., Yes, Deep Forest, Vangelis, Amethystium (he is my favorite and a huge influence), Carbon Based Lifeforms, Aes Dana, Paul Oakenfold, Mars Lasar, Harry-Gregson Williams, Joey Fehrenbach, Jens Buchert, Sigur Ros, and numerous ambient artists that I have heard on Soma FM internet radio.
What equipment do you use?
I use Propellerheads Reason 4 and an M-Audio Radium USB keyboard. I'd like to buy a pocket sampler someday so I can record samples for use in my music.
Anything else?
You can purchase full albums by me at blastmymusic.com.
