Michael A. Willoughby
I create instrumental music. My songs, generally, are short, to the point and, I'd like to think, creative and interesting along the way.
I create about 98% of my music from my Digital Audio Workstation - Logic Pro 8.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I've written music for two films by a good friend.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I do not play live.
Your musical influences
As with most musicians, my influences are numerous and varied! I tend to default to instrumental music, especially soundtrack music such as Hans Zimmer, Alexandre Desplat and David Arnord; and Jazz/Rock such as Return to Forever, Stanley Clarke and George Duke; or ambient Symphonic music.
What equipment do you use?
Primarily, Logic Pro 8 and a Korg Trition Studio workstation.
Anything else?
I'm not highly skilled on any particular instrument but, throughout my musical life, I've enjoyed "composing" music, that is, creating multi textural and multi rhythmic songs.
