Hi there all you cyberkiddies. First off, if you managed to find this page all on your own, you've been searching the web for far too long. GO OUTSIDE AND SEE THE SUN! (Don't look at it directly of course.) I make sounds that please me, and I hope that they please others as well. I had a larger collection of really sh***y music on MP3.com but they are corrupt bastards, and after limiting me to only having three songs on display, they limited me to having no songs at all, as the site shut down in it's entirety.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I do play live, but not electronic stuff. I play in a jazz combo with my friends. I both love and hate playing live. When I am at my ability level, it is the sweetest thing in the world. If I am playing something that is above my ability, it becomes torture, as I really really want to be perfect, and then I become discouraged and methodically plan things out on the computer. It is my electronic crutch. It's unhealthy, I know.
Your musical influences
I love the Bad Plus, Stereolab, Charles Mingus, Nirvana, Don Ellis, Miles Davis, and so many others. I am also really into the Tosca Tango Orchestra, who did the soundtrack to Waking Life. Another Major Influence is actually a friend of mine, Sherwin Young, who is studying composition at the University of Southern Maine under J Mark Scearce. Basically, if somebody is making any amount of good music, I want to get in on it. As far as electronic influences, I really like Aphex Twin and Squarepusher. I also dig the Chemical Brothers, but I don't sound much like them. They tend to have alot more texture in their music, which is bad for me, as I have a very old computer with very little processing power.
What equipment do you use?
I use Cool Edit Pro for cutting drums and other samples, and I use Jeskola Buzz to do all my mixing and synth work.

asher. ive always been into your stuff. a lot of you stuff from like a year ago are on mix cds that i play all the time. i will add all of the new ones and let you know what i think. bluegreen is very cool. nice and laid back with your weird final fantasy synths. drums are wicked. great job.
Yeah, I totally gave up on that version. I listened to the original and I realized I completely ruined it. The original has this low-pass bass line that creeps in very gradually and eventually turns the song into a twisted 5/4 gabber massacre. And I've always though that a good remix should have elements of the original while taking it in a new direction at the same time. Mu-ziq is really good at that. But yeah the only element I really used from the original was the samples I had to make cause Funk told me he lost the originals. Other than that I just made a over-funky bastardized piece of sh***. Yes. I am very critical of my own music.
:) Kool man..Indivisible Quadrangle.. Its got a good vibe... I liked the way the syth works really nicley with the bass line that comes in later on... the syth kinda sounds like..even tho it sounds very digitised, that it could be a guitar with pitch bending and modulation.. Dont know if this is intentional, Or even real coz I think I hear guitars everywhere.. :P Thanx For checking out Corrosive.. We have many variant sounds to all our tracks tho.. Let us know if any other tracks interested you. Take it easy
