Experimental Sounds

Music for Isolation Tanks. X equals X (X = X), is the repository for my slower expermimental midi noodlings of whatever comes into my head during the small dark hours between reality and dreams. Drones, lots of manipulation overlaying and slowing down of my original files. ______________________________________________________________________________ In my twenties I shared a house with several other students. Whilst they were listening to the Sex Pistols, Ramones and the Clash. I was listening to Boulez, Cage, Penderecki, Ligetti, Reich and Berio, along with a bit of Shostakovich, Berlioz and Mahler amongst others and the Clash, Coil, Faust, toad the wet sprocket and suchlike. Occasionally my housemates would venture into my darkened hashish scented lair and say what the fuck is this you are listening to. They would linger ( due to the aroma and its source) and with patience and time they would eventually say things like, this isn't bad. My only hope is that some of those composers ( or my now rapidly approaching old age flat mates) mentioned above would venture here and say something like, this isn't bad. If only they weren't all dead ( The composers, not my mates ... yet). Ive still got some dope left!
Band/artist history
As a kid I wanted to join the school brass band, they gave me a test to see if I had any musical ability. I had to sing back notes as they were played on the piano. I was terrible. But they let me join the band, playing something akin to a large bulbous trumpet. To this day I still dont know what it was. Aged 16 I wanted a keyboard, an ad for an electric organ was for sale in a local pub, turned out it had a few keys that didnt work. I said Ill take it. My parents said otherwise, they were very conventional. At 17 I auditioned for a Bowie tribute band, they said play Jean Genie, I did, note by note on one string. They left, I ran to my room and cried with embarrassment. So there was nothing for it than to get a career. A career brings money and I could buy software. Software to make music. I could choose not to play the missing keys that aren't missing. And so... I did.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
No, but I sometimes play dead.
Your musical influences
Avante garde classical music. Dark ambient, Experimental.
What equipment do you use?
Started with 2 tape decks and a crappy synth, guitars and drum machine. Now I have hundreds of virtual instruments! Cubase. Midi keyboard. Soundfonts and all those virtual instruments.
