New Minus One Flag.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
The project started in September 2006.
I had a lot of spare ideas going around that didn't really fit with the band I was in at the time.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Not yet, but maybe some day.
Your musical influences
Nine Inch Nails, Tool, Jeff Buckley, Opeth, Dredg, lots of Post-Rock and Post-Metal bands such as Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Isis, Pelican, Red Sparrowes, Trip-Hop..
What equipment do you use?
I play a basic Les Paul copy through a Pod XT. I record with my Pod XT direct into KRISTAL Audio Engine.
I do all my drums with Acoustica Beatcraft with the samples included with that and some stuff from Drumkit From Hell 1.
I record vocals with an SM57 going through a Yamaha UW500 interface.
I mix it all in KRISTAL Audio Engine
Anything else?
Now that coursework is completely out of the way, I have a lot more time to write.
Expect a lot of new material soon.
