The music I post here more or less paints a firm trajectory from where I started to where I'm going. All of this is simple practice with certain concepts in mind. Singles are coming, someday.
The main goal of my music is to get something stuck in your head, and have your head transfer that to your finger, your feet, your body - and get some part of you moving. Thing is, the mind's journey takes lifetimes...
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I've been making music since I was a kid, but electronic music has been a different sort of passion. It's been more of a hobby for me as opposed to instrumental music, which is more of a lifestyle.
So, I started taking things a bit more seriously and practicing, which is weird considering "electronic music" doesn't sound like it needs practice to most people.
Most of the songs come out from listening to too much music, latching onto a certain musical idea or evoked feeling, and running with that. The last bit required is pure serendipity.
Your musical influences
My music so far has a lot of strings over melancholy undertones. I like keeping my kick in hard, and percussion fleshes out a lot of my work.
What equipment do you use?
Ableton Live 7, Samplitude 10, M-AUDIO Axiom 49, Epiphone Les Paul Studio, Teisco '63 MJ-2, and a handmade Polish folk guitar that belonged to my dad.
