the stated purpose of noetic echoes used to be "a noetic pursuit of philosophy and of music through itself." as of now, this is no longer accurate; rather, noetic echoes is a noetic/phenomenological investigation two distinct categories: one, of singular entities; two, of concepts. the former works as a sort of experimentation on a sound or instrument, while the latter is primarily a musical "scaffold" that is constructed based on logical, conceptual blueprints.
this is all highbrow talk, but when it comes down to it, i just make music that i want to hear. i make music that i think is interesting. i share it here because i figure there's probably someone else out there that might like it, but that's just a collateral benefit.

i started working on music as a hobby in late 2004/early 2005, and back then i was just screwing around with random stuff--i wanted to make something that was a cross between front 242 and a very noisy croc shop, with some noisex thrown in for good measure. sometime in 2007, though, i began to synthesize my philosophical pursuits with my musical pursuits, as i became very interested in the interdisciplinary possibilities that awaited. to this day, there is still not a very vocal field in the philosophy of music, as it is still vastly incomplete as compared to other philosophical disciplines, and as far as i know, there are no bands making philosophy as music.
earlier last year (2008) i started a shift away from philosophy and i am now exploring explicitly fantastical ideas that are rich in philosophical themes, as a direct result of a series of lucid dreams that i experienced. in 2009 i have been working at reworking older songs that i think are worth my time to retrofit.
as of now i am moving away from my older material wholly in order to rework my approach. i think my dedication to older, less refined tracks have clouded my musical judgment and i am scrapping all of my old tracks to make way for the new.Have you performed in front of an audience?never done a live show; since all my music is done via programming and i don't even own a keyboard, i imagine a live show would be rather boring at the moment. i toyed around with a korg kp3 kaoss pad but decided that i should start out with something more humble, like a keyboard, sequencer, and maybe some drum pads before going headlong into dynamic effects processing. it was wicked fun, though, and i plan on purchasing one again sometime in the future.
Your musical influences
gridlock, autechre, mentallo & the fixer, and haujobb are probably the biggest bands that have directly influenced my music. of course, ideas are the latent phenomenal baggage in most of my work, most notably determinism, modularity, phenomenology, and possible worlds theory. ryuichi sakamoto is one of my favorite living composers, and his work "discord" is inarguably one of my miscellaneous touchstones. there's a lot of random music -- "adagio for strings," for instance -- that just stirs deep within me, and i usually have to turn them off if there's anyone around because i'll probably start crying like a little girl. although i'm not a huge fan of anime, yoichiro yoshikawa's work on the "iria" soundtrack has some real gems, among others. it's a fairly eclectic mix, all told.What equipment do you use?
