Mourning After Pill
Mourning After Pill is a musical project started by Tracy Derynck in 2000.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Originally I wanted to be in a gothic band, but I found that industrial-ambient is a more workable genre for someone who trusts their computer more than the vast majority of potential band members. All sequencing, wave editing, recording, mixing, etc. is done by me, on my PC, in my home office (which I won't dignify with a made-up pretentious "studio" name) :).
When I began "Parasite Priestess", I was temporarily living in Ottawa, but my long-term residence is in Calgary. Currently I am living in Lancaster in the UK. Because I only have the use of a laptop right now, I am not working on any new music at the moment.
What equipment do you use?
All Mourning After Pill songs to date have been made using the following:
A custom-built PC running Windows 98
Emu-APS sound card
Zoom 501 II Guitar Pedal (for vocal effects)
Fruity Loops 4.1 - I highly recommend this software to anyone who is looking for something that balances versatility, usability and cost.
Native Instruments Pro-53 VST instrument
Steinberg Wavelab 4.0
Sonic Foundry Acid Pro 2.0a
