They're Coming This Way

Dark Ambient with tinges of Dub. They're coming this way, and I don't think they're happy to see us.

Picture for song 'intermission dub' by artist 'october71'

intermission dub

Lo-fi dub track from the Casio SK-1 and voice samples. No, that's not my voice...it's some guy's.
I am an experimental electronic musician. I use a Gameboy/Nanoloop and Circuitbent instruments as well as more conventional electronic instruments. Most tracks are "sequenced" and recorded live. Post-production processing is done in Sound Forge, and is usually limited to editing for length, adjusting eq and volume, and adding reverb or echo. I also use Sound Forge a few freeware programs for generating drones and experimenting.
Band/artist history
I've been making electronic music since about 2000. In the beginning it was learning how to use virtual analog synths, and then I got into Nanoloop (the program I use on the Gameboy) and then into circuitbending. Now I'm even using "real" gear!
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I do play live, but not as often as I'd like to. I'm pretty bad about the whole self-promotion thing. I really do like playing live though, and my audience usually seems to enjoy it...and that in turn makes me very happy.
Your musical influences
So many things influence my music, and not just other musicians...but, here's some musicians that have had a very big influence on me: Johnny Rotten, Brian Eno, Gary Numan, Herbie Hancock, Mad Professor, Autechre, Joy Division, Twilight Circus Dub Soundsystem, Tom Waits, Oval, Kraftwerk, Front 242, Phillip Glass, Siouxsie and The Banshees, Squarepusher, Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys.
