shrink inward
this is the page for my solo work for now
until i can fund somthing more pleasing for the
eyes. So i guess i started kicking stupid
raps around 1996-97 around the age of 12
at about 13 hip hop had become a major role
in my life diverting my attention from most
of everything going on around me
it was my downfall i'm sure, writting raps
during class and teaching myself to
freestlye constantly, but i think i started taking
it seriously at the age of 16 when
it became the most important thing
in my life. After playing with software
and learning to make beats for myself
instead of buying them, or waiting for somone else
it clicked that i could make independant music
all by myself so that was that. at around
17 i fell in love with the world of abstract
and undefinable music such as the emcees who inspired me such as buck 65, sole of anticon,
passage of restiformbodies, and most importantly
the mouth of madness who to this day remains
my loyal teacher,friend and spiritual guide
after making music for a while at 18 i started
defining my own style and trying to make a scene
around NewHampshire this was proven to be semi- succesful after realising what was important to
me i severed contact from a list of friends
and kept a pen on me at all times and at 19
i am writting as ritual and filling rooms
of useless poems ans stories aahhh the life
of a starving lyricist so enjoy these songs
i have done in my spare time and look forward
to an official abbadon website if you would like
a record for five dollars wich are filled
with somthing like 80 minutes of dope expirimental hip hop then send me an e-mail
and download these songs if you like them
if you would like to visit my other home
please visit www.loungerap.com it's chalk full
of intresting stuff thanks for reading and
visiting my site, this is my attempt to sound sincere thanks - christopher (abbadon) smith
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
this isn't the site for my band including
one dj who raps and me who raps a well but
if you want the history of abbadon look
above on the intorduction.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
i have torn it up a a bunch of lifted shows
and have only reformed as a band once
but this was very exilerating and we killed it to say the least.
Your musical influences
I think the late eighties pop sound was
infectious to my ear, the country/rock
my father played when he was a stay home dad
and the rap my brother forced upon me
led me to whatever mut of musical genre
you see before you.
What equipment do you use?
there's no telling what i'll use
sometimes i use my dictaphone set to
high speed fast forward, an old vocal effects machine, a very old distortion box
digital 12 track boss drum machines. microkorg
old pianos and you if your lucky.
Anything else?
i will try to keep this page updated to my present endevours into the world of music
exploration but keep checking there may be new songs all the time!...
