Christopher Dykes
Contagious Music - Compelling Message
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Mostly Atlanta area rock & alt/rock bands with most experience coming from Atlanta based, "Phases", and my stint with Ed Roland of Collective Soul fame.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Mostly studio work now. Writing, writing, and more writing.
Your musical influences
Mix Steve Perry and Geddy Lee and you have my voice.
As far as my instrumentation, sound, and style go- I have no idea what to tell people to expect. I've got 25 years of influences tucked away in little brain closets and I never know which ones are going to jump out and beg to be part of the next tune.
What equipment do you use?
Recording: Protools 6.2 (with more plug-ins than I know how to use), XPC. Keys: Korg Triton, Yamaha EX7, Roland Fantom - Vox: Sinnheiser, Rode NT1a & AKG mics. Lexicon, Focusrite, & Mackie outboard gear.
Anything else?
