Fields ov Gravity
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Played keyboards in a half dozen different bands from the mid to late 80's. OUr style was in the vein of 'the cure', 'echo and the bunny men', 'Souxie...' etc. Around '89 the band I was in went grunge and kicked me out for not being grunge enough. I packed up all my equipment and didn't touch it again until the winter of 2001. A friend gave me a cd with a slew of soft synths, trackers, plugins, wave editors etc. And I had the bug to make music again. So as of now, I've leared a lot but still have much more to learn musically, technologically and production wise.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Not presently. Right now it's all Pc based manipulations. Personally, I think a guy on stage with nothing but a laptop is kind of boring. So until I come up with something substantial to add, the world is going to have to wait...
