Exploring sounds and sound creation.
Music is a noise you make more than once.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
History? There isn't one. I've been listening to electronic music for years and once I had the computer, the Internet and the software then it seemed like a good move to try and make some music of my own.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
No - studio only.
Your musical influences
John Cage - brought chance into music.
Brian Eno - make the background into the foreground
Stockhausen - the man makes poetry out of noise.
The Dadaists - they set out to prove that art was dead and sniggered while they were at it. Anarchists with style and attitude
Percy Grainger - invented "free music"
What equipment do you use?
Just me, a PC and a pile of freeware and shareware.
Anything else?
Three Musical Rules to Remember:
* 20th Century music is not contemporary.
* Experimental music that doesn't experiment is not true to label
* Nor all experimental art needs to take itself seriously.
*People who give you their "Three Musical Rules to Remember" are pretentious prats and can be ignored (this is rule number four)
