Suckow
Suckow is a solo artist. He isn't very good at what he does. He isn't very passionate about what he does. In fact, calling Suckow an artist is a bit of a stretch. He's more like a loser. He's a big loser.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Collin was lonely kid, so one day while surfing the net, he started reading about different music software. He'd already found a wav editor on his pc and had screwed around with that, but now he wanted to record his own sounds. The solution was a little miracle called jeskola buzz. He spent hours and hours on the pc working out new sounds and textures; discovering anthing he could about music. He'd already had experience playing the cello and some basic theory under his belt. Soon he took up the guitar and found it came quite naturally to him. Now he waits for the day he can spread his music by means much more effective than web postings. He's bored with writing now, so this is the end of this peace of narcistic garbage.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yeah, but I think it's best that nobody be exposed to it.
