The very first moment I spawned an interest in associating computers and music came one day when I tried to figure out what the lead singer of Aqua was saying in the song "Roses Are Red". I was intrigued by the reverse effect on the album, and sought to "reverse the reverse" in order to understand what this backwards talk was about. I finally succeeded with a cheap wav editor on my Pentium 1 75MHz-- yeah, this was back in 1996-97. From there I spent countless hours exploring, downloading, and eventually, applying my school-learned percussion skills to make head bangin beats. As my knowledge of programs and understanding of sound editing grew, I then begain to crave a more professional sound--not the video game music you hear on atari, but I wanted to make real music that inspired dreams of faraway places and invoked feelings of adrenaline and pulse-pounding groove. This is about the time I came across Paul Oakenfold and Ak1200. I immersed myself into these new worlds of continous mixes---I analyzed the complexity of AK's wicked and hyper beats and contemplated over how I could somehow replicate the "happy sensation" Oakenfold's music gave me. And thus, I decided it was time to make a demo. My goal--create a CD professing my talent at engineering beats, producing tracks, and remixing other peoples tracks, and make sure that it stays continous throughout--none of this 3-4 second stop between tracks. And 3 years later, here it is. Whenever I listen to it, I reminisce over all inspiration that came into each track, sometimes I laugh, sometimes I wince, but always I am thinking, I could have done this, or I should have done that. My skills have grown, and now, after a long hiatus, it's time to implement my style into some fresh ideas. Where will it go from here?Have you performed in front of an audience?I used to, but with D&B I got tired of the out all night people, playing other people's music, and the "scene"(not to be vague or anything). I'd rather make my own stuff and hear someone who has been DJing a lot longer than me spin it.
