STA-BnoKS (Station Tera-Alpha Media)
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
This "Band" is really a "Vertual Band", as many Electronica Musicians really are. Strong Emotions (mine, and others), influance my music, along with a sort of Dual Personality. As my friends know I am a very Peranormal Person, and I am a Huge Anime, and Sci-Fi fan! This of course adds too and influances my music on a regular basis.
I originaly created my music under the "Station Tera-Alpha" name exclusively for my Web site, and soon expanded to other Web ventures I hosted or moderated. I added the meaning of the "Tera-Alpha" part of my Bands name and included the "DARGON" Nickname I was well known as to my friends... creating the Self-Opperated Probuction Company "DARGON/Tera-Alpha: Master Monster Music" (some times seen as "DARGON/Tera-Alpha Media").
As you might have guessed from the Anime, and Sci-Fi influance, I am also a really big fan of GOOD console Games, and the systems they use. After purchasing a Sony PSP and using it as a portable music system as well as a Video, and Game playing device for a while, I noticed how truely amazing the sound from such a small and versitile system could be! From this came the "Birth" of STA-BnoKS!
I like to just walk! and I REALLY like to walk and listen to some awsome tunes! So, I decided who better to create the first real for true "Walking Music Album"!!! Not only that, but to imagen, create, design, and perfect this music for none other than the most awsome, and versitile hand-held Media device EVER (so far :p)!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I don't play live. I take my time making my music, and if it doesn't sound right... I throw it out. Even if I took hours working on it! If I don't like it, I wont even ask someone else if they would like it. So Live Playing of my music is really something impossible. I would never feel I could do my best with a limited amount of time, let alone let people listen while I was creating.
What equipment do you use?
My mind, Voice, a number of differant Programs, My PCs, and other as yet decided elements
