DJ Renfield
This is just my outlet for electronic music - if you're going to genre it, I suppose 'stoner techno' works as good as anything else, all labels being ultimately meaningless. (If you don't believe me, get into a conversation on exactly what qualifies as 'ambient', for instance.)
'The Process' - induce chemical euphoria (more often than not), program for a shorter or longer period and see what misfiring synapses are capable of when using audio software and captured noise as a medium.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
What I've been doing to curb my masturbation habit since 2001.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
In a word, no. This is what it is, and should it acquire enough loving devotion I'd consider expanding what is really just my bedroom experiment.
Special moments? Like walking in on a roommate while they're jerking off? Let me think....
Your musical influences
Electronically, I'm just assimilating more mainstream influences into what is, for me, a foreign realm. While I enjoy stuff like Tricky, Massive Attack, Aphex Twin, Portishead, etc, I don't listen to the same stuff as most programmers. Most of my electro influences are via industrial sources - Wumpscut, Ministry, NIN, Rammstein. Most of what I do is what it is simply because I don't have any ideas what rules I might be violating. Nifty.
What equipment do you use?
If it's free and makes noise...
Anything else?
My secret weapon is plain toast. How I use it is what makes it secret!
