AnuRakta
Hi all this is AnuRakta...an amature musician who likes to compose and record songs as a hobby...i warn you nothing professional ....really! I just try my best to get the emotions and feelings expressed through my music. I have been in a band few many times before but didn't work out because of differences so I have decided to go alone now and for good and let my lone voice be heard!..Music has no language..I normally do songs in Nepali but once in a while I express my feelings in english language too ;-)
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I will provide this in detail later. Some of my experiences in a band include
Band URANS (1992) : Mayalu Priyeshi single release on Touch Volume I
Band MEZZO (1994): recorded an Album
72nd Street(1999): released an album
Some more details will be provided later.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yeah in gatherings here and there! But in a normal basis, No! Yes I love playing live!. Special moments were when touring with my band 72nd street in Chicago and Denver a while back!
Your musical influences
Lot of the times i just write whatever comes to my mind at that particular moment and I am sure every musician is like that but I like some of the musicians truely..Nepali ones are: Karna Das, New CobWeb, Robin & Looza, Mukti & Revival, 1974 A.D., English are: U2, Tom Petty, Bon Jovi, Creed, AC/DC, Aerosmith
What equipment do you use?
I am not techno or electronica bands but I use following Equipments for my recording:
Cakewalk Sonar - Computer based Studio
Fruity Loops - for drum beats only
Gibson Les Paul 60's neck classic - for anything possible
Marshall Amp - for of course warm sound
Johnson semi accoustic - accents
Yamha RBZ Bass Guitar - for bass
Ibanez - for rhythems etc.
Korg X2 - for anything else needed
RCA 18" monitors - for mixing
Anything else?
Well...what can I say! Music is my passion and I will not be able to live without it! I wanted to be just a passive listener many times in my life and leave the job of creating music completely but IT IS HARD! So here I am back once and for all...as me alone...for everyone AnuRakta!
