Era Nocturna
Era Nocturna is a "gothtronica" project based out of Massachusetts. It was formed by Daevina Noctem in the winter of 2000 and had a short span of actually being a four piece band until two of the four left and the remaining two whittled down to one. Now Era Nocturna is comprised of singer, composer and engineer Daevina Noctem, a fleet of computers (some borrowed, some owned), various microphones and temper tantrums that lead to some interesting sounds.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
How much time do you have? Really... the project is almost 10 years old... it'd take an age to tell that tale.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Era Nocturna does not perform live at this time. Is it possible? Perhaps.
Your musical influences
Who: Mesh, Nine Inch Nails, Garbage, Skinny Puppy, Collide, old Ministry. What: Life. All in all I'm into a lot of different types of music but my crowning influence is gothic themed music in general. I love it, I gravitate towards it and it's what Era Nocturna ends up sounding like.
What equipment do you use?
A G4 power Mac, two Gateway laptops, a Dell dimension desktop (sometimes), Fruity Loops Pro 6, Sonar, an audio technica atr20 mic, Logitech USB mic, and a lot of audio duct tape.
Anything else?
Good question.. Do you know the air speed velocity of an unladen Swallow?
