Horatius D is two people, Gavin Allen (Guitars, Bass, FX, Producing) and Alex Rubin (Percussion). A mixture of rock and roll spirit with electronic precision, our music is like a cross between a mullet and a robot. Some even go so far as to call it robo-mullet. Some don't.Band/artist history
We first formed as part of a project in a Medieval Literature class in which we did a project to write a rock soundtrack to Dante's Inferno. We haven't played any live gigs to date, and we're both going to different schools come fall of 2005.Have you performed in front of an audience?UPDATE: We have, in fact, played some songs live now. We played War and Peace and March of Fire at a live show in august 2005 to great effect; it even surprised us how much more impactful both the songs were when played in a live situation. No word yet on if we'll ever try the more difficult pieces, such as Urbs Ex Machina or Bloodflow.

System of a DownWhat equipment do you use?
For electronic parts of our songs (as well as the general sequencing) I used samples run through Acid 4.0, though I rarely, if ever, use it as a looping program. The "chopper," combined with the program's wide variety of FX plug-ins, allowed us to get some pretty unique sounds. I haven't contemplated how to recreate these sounds live yet. As for standard equipment, the guitars (Epiphone Les Paul Elite Hollowbody) and bass (Fender P-bass, stock) are both run through a stock Behringer V-Amp2 and directly in to the mixer, sometimes with amp/cabinet sims, sometimes without. The drums were recorded with various Shure microphones.Anything else?
Contact us if you want to buy a cd. The $5 cost goes to pay for the cds themselves, as well as cover art and additional production costs.
