A Steaming Pile of Everything
Band/artist history
Not much of a history. I just played in some bands that I thought were pretty good but broke up. I tried to get a new band together but it never happened so I gave up and make music by my self now. I wish there was a cool story. I should make one up. ...it should have a car chase in it.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Im working on playing with prerecorded backing tracks. Still looking for the right mix of what to play live and what I can actually sing and play at the same time. Look for it in the near future.
Your musical influences
I Jump around a lot. Im kind of flightily and I yearn to experiment. Mostly what I do is a kind of loud indie rock guitar/old school synth bleep/skippy sputtery electronic beat/giant swelling orchestral thing. I dont always do those things all at once. Sometimes I do. As for actual bands that I think pop up in my music: Pavement and Built to Spill guitars show up a lot. In failing to make Sufjan Stevens orchestral arrangements I think I end up with something original. I try to do big beats like the Chemical Brothers. My music contains some slow ambient swells like Icelandic bands Mum & Sigur Ros. I also try to make fun electronic based music like Aqueduct & the Postal Service.
What equipment do you use?
I use fender Guitars mostly. I have a Jag-Stang that Im supping up and a set-neck custom Telecster. Im getting into a weird area now of playing just acoustic a lot so Im using a wonderful Big Baby Taylor. As far as loops go I make them in Fruity Loops and Reason. I record onto Mixcraft and sometimes cakewalk.
