Welcome, my name is Keith and I make this music. I hope you enjoy it. I wish I had band-mates but I guess I don't work well with others or there's just not enough people who make electronic music out in the sticks.
Band/artist history
Most kids picked up guitars or drums or something when they were 15 or 16. I went and bought a synthesizer (Poly 800II) and have been in love with it since. Unfortunately a friend of mine introduced it to some root beer so now it just kinda sits in the basement.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I've just gotten the things I need to start playing out again. I used to play open mics and just about anything anyone would ask me to play. Then I grew a concience about what I was doing to my music by using only one sampler with 60 seconds of time on it. You can view a live performance at Brainvault.info (look under music and then look for Psynet34).
Your musical influences
I enjoy much of the Warp record label these days and have been drawing from there but, I used to listen to Depeche Mode and Underworld a lot. They're big ones too. Not to mention well... damn near anything that sounds like those three examples.
What equipment do you use?
Nord Lead 2, Electribe ES and EA-1's, various software synths, Reaktor, a Korg NX5r and I usually run Sonic Foundry's Acid, Fruity Studio or Ableton Live (new edition).
Anything else?
I hope you like my music. And if you want to book me to play, let me know!

Hey man, I change the title to my songs and pictures, sometimes more than once. A good title I think does affect the listener because it gives them a forecast of the mood or subject. If you want the titles to be transparent, without direction, make up words that dont mean anything. And if they remember the songs in the first place, well there you go.
I like the atmospheric feel. Nice style.
Eh, I agree with cyrxi, to a point. Song titles, and even genre names (IDM, Trance, Dance, etc.) are far less important than the music. A "bad" title won't destroy a good song any more than a "good" title will save a bad song - and it's all subjective anyway. Name the songs what YOU want to call them, whatever has meaning for YOU. The music will speak for itself and (hopefully) succeed on its own merits. BTW, I like the title "After the Ice", but I agree that calling something "Dance Song (1)" is kinda lame - again, totally subjective. Really enjoyed most of these songs, but I wish there was a more nuanced scale than "hit" or "flop". I'd rate most somewhere between 7-9, with a couple 10s and a couple 4s. "Heart for Wat" was great except I'd pare down how many times you sample in Art of War quotes, and I dislike anagram titles - too cutesy. :-P Maybe retitle it "Baltimore Ronin". LOL Anyway, most of the songs are great, and all your work here is pretty solid, so do what you
Hey man, stick to your original titles. Let the comments/genre information explain anything people need to know. There's no need to make your titles more user-friendly. I mean "Watching Too Much Hip Hop" sounds cooler and more fitting IMO than "After the Ice". And "Dance Song (1)" just sounds lame :P
