Hi, this is Raphaelle. I'm at the moment working on ambient electronic music. I have extremely eclectic music tastes, and I work on anything from ambient to industrial to trance. If I ever get anything done, I'll put it up here.
Band/artist history
Err, I started off playing guitar in a punk band in a friend's garage when I was 14-15ish. I then went on to noise music, to the chagrin of my parents, and in college, flatmates. I went through a drum and bass phase, which I unfortunately have no remnants left of(stupid, stupid, stupid! Why don't I back up my data?). I'm pretty versatile with styles, in that I'm equally bad at everything. I sometimes work on a bit of industrial or trance when I'm in the mood, but no properly finished tracks in either of those genres so far.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Err, not often. I've DJ aat some friend's parties, does that count?
Your musical influences
Hmm.... Lessee...
Sigur Ros is one of my favourite bands right now... I can't get enough of Svefn-g-Englar.
Cabaret Voltaire is the original industrial band, and I am eternally grateful. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have anything to stomp around to, or any large angry rivetheads to get punched by...
Sasha & Digweed are too cool.
Brian Eno, cause he practically created ambient music on his own.
Dj Dieselboy, because he created the CD that I pop into my disc changer when I have too much energy and need to randomly bounce for a bit:
The Dungeonmaster's Guide
Go on, get it! It's good!
And finally, the hardcore punk movement for getting me into music in general.
Yeah, I have really diverse interests. By next week, I'll probably be working on soem happy hardcore or goa trance... I do way too much at once.
What equipment do you use?
A Korg Triton LE 61-key synthesizer, a Jackson guitar sometimes, assorted guitar effects, random freeware PC proggies for my laptop.
