Baby Wilson
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
None atall. I've loved music forever, and only recently discovered that you can make it at home on a computer.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I don't, and couldn't, play live.
Your musical influences
I love all sorts of things, from Bach to Bacharach and Blur. It goes without saying that the Beatles are embedded deap within my subconscious, but I never think about them other than when I have a cd on. I love male voices, so I'm influenced by Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys, and love the way they were both avant garde and relentlessly popular at the same time (yeah, really...), but I also like the cooler , more detached and intellectual approach of Paddy McAloon and Prefab Sprout. I like melodies and beautiful chords, though I also like something a little more violent and nasty on occassion, as long as its good...
What equipment do you use?
Cubase SX, with various plugins. 'Ten Acres to the Farm' uses 4Front piano, Plugsound double bass, a Sampletank electric bass, and a chopped-up Groove agent drum track. I've no idea what mic I use, and there are no special compressors, reverbs or EQs on the track.
