Babylon Horuv
Babylon Horuv was a drummer and singer in a punk band, but lacking punks he has become a creator of industrial music. A mixture of samples and bits of voice, it reminds some of art of noise. The style could best be described as electronic maximalism.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I've been playing drums and singing since I was a teenager, dreaming of creating electronic music. Now I create electronic music and dream of playing drums with real living people, I guess we are never satisified. Originally I grew up in the San Juan Islands in Washington State, an absolutely incredible place that I recommend you do not visit (you won't understand it and you will bother the locals) Now I live in Ohio in a town that seems to have crawled out of the pages of a Steven King Novel, except without any of the interesting supernatural bits. Just a general feeling of creepiness.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I love playing live, unfortunately the stuff I am posting on here is impossible to play live. At least in any meaningful way.
Your musical influences
Art Of Noise, Skinny Puppy, Jim Morrison, KMFDM, Incubus Succubus (not Incubus, the Gothic band from Britain) I enjoy a lot of industrial and I think it has all influenced my music in some ways.
What equipment do you use?
A Dell Dimension 2400, Sonic Foundry Sound Forge, Sonic Foundry Acid, BBox, Musicmatch Jukebox (to convert files) and a microphone from a karaoke machine for 3 year olds.
