Hypnotix 2000
I am an Underground Artist from Pakistan (currently living in Canada) capturing almost every genre in my music... from trance to thrash!
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I used to listen to music artists and wondered how they composed music... I never even dreamt of having made a track! In fact, I neither had a clue nor the resources to get started in creating my own composition... And then the unexpected happened; I developed this strange drive to create music. I looked around asking people for information and finally got on the go. At this juncture I would like to thank "Signal Detection Theory" for their help in my quest. I couldn't have gotten here without you! At present, I compose music for fun and hope you have fun listening :) Personally, I dont believe in a particular genere of music but rather in expression... music just follows suit! It is thereore, you'll see certain diversity in my compositions...
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I have no music background and do everything by ear, though I have now developed some music knowledge through informal means. I started out producing music using software only but am now using keyboards and guitars also but all of my productions are zero-dollar-budget! Sometimes I feel glad about not having any formal music training ... gives me the incentive to experiment! To start composing I first start out by programming melodies through software and also through the keyboard and capture all the required information via MIDI cable hooked up to my computer. I then lay every instrument and sample onto the tracks within the software and record additional guitar work by hooking up the effects pedal to the soundcard. In the end, everything is ready for the vocals to be added which I usually do from my PC mic. Once that is done the song is ready to be compiled and is rendered to MS WAV or MP3 Format on my computer which I can then upload on the or burn on a CD.

Anything else?
My approach can easily be extended to other walks of life. I aspire to promote alternative ways of thinking, where knowledge is power, simplicity is divine, and money, competition and commercialism is not the only way to achieve something great. If through my music, I am able to inspire change in even a single person, I will have done great service to my dear Homeland!
