Six Shot 7
Six Shot 7 is one guy in the middle of Illinios writing music and trying to keep his sanity. Spanning everything from classical to noise, happy upbeat to depressing dark down tempo music, he has a sound all his own.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
When I was three I started taking piano lessons. When I was ten I started playing Clarinet. Now, I have this as my outlet. Although I'm relatively new to the music scene (I've only been recording and producing for about a year) I've been told that I'm doing well, and hope to continue to improve.
I'm freaky in real life, but I'd rather not be whats considered normal. Maybe in a bit I'll put some more in here.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I would like to play live but I haven't done it yet. I'd be difficult to figure out what to do as most of my work is done in vsts.
Your musical influences
I try to make my own music, with out any outside influences because that only is conforming to something I am not. However, I do enjoy listening to: Nine Inch Nails, Gorillaz, Jerry Martin, Fear Factory,The Humble Brothers, Andy Brick, Edwin Dolinski, Jeremy Soule, Marylin Manson, Air, Moby, Aphex Twin, Pink Floyd, Led Zepplin, Slayer, Kurrel, Boards of Canada, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Jefferson Airplane, John Lennon, A Silver Mt.Zion, Set Fire to Flames, Merzbo, Winterkalte, Explosions in The Sky, DroneDragon, Front Line Assembly and all other forms.
What equipment do you use?
At the moment I use:
Reason 3.0
FL Studio 6
Waaay to many vsts to list
My piano ;)
Nylon/Electric guitar
For recording I have a EMU 1212-m
I would like to get some sort of controler soon... (CM perhaps?) and the box for the EMU
Anything else?
Alot of the music I make is different with every song... so I really don't sound like anyone that I know of. I dislike genres because it's a bit constrictive. I like to do what ever I want to, if its classical, noise, rock whatever.
Apologizes for the misspellings, spelling is definatly not my forte.
Finally, a giant THANK YOU to my freinds and all whom support me.
