Butch
"Butch forces the listener to redefine any preconceived notions of what popular music is all about, and to listen in a new way. Songs which on a cursory first impression might seem grating or downright annoying will upon repeated listening worm their way into your mental soundtrack, and before you know what's happening there'll be little snippets of his lyrics popping into your head as you push your cart down the grocery store aisle and you'll find yourself humming his tunes along with your lawnmower. This is insidious stuff."
What equipment do you use?
Bass, guitar, various samplers and loops... a xylophone, a harmonica, the trumpet, lots of different keyboards, an old Juno, and a RapMan Casio...not a virtuoso instrumentalist of any sort, but enjoys finding sounds that are right for the song, and honing digital editing skills. "This kind of stuff is in the computer, slowing it down, speeding it up, you can play with the tone, make it higher, make it lower, and breaking the sound down so it really gets very noisy... It's really kind of frightening what you can do."
