Synthetic Synesthesia

Synthetic Synesthesia (originally Synesthesia, for all you fans) was born with the introduction of FL Studio (then fruity loops) to mild mannered Dave in 2003, transforming him into one who would immediately capture the ears of those around him with terrible and painful collaborations of sound that he tried to pass off as music. These horrifying creations were the result of a lack of experience and the desire to 'make music, the likes of which the world has never experienced'. Unfortunately, even with these terrible songs, he failed in his goal, he realised after being introduced to noise/industrial, 'melodic' noise/industrial, and many other forms of electronica. It was at this point at which he decided he would simply make songs that sounded pleasing to his ear. Unfortunately, even with this new direction and incredible vision, he still lacked any musical knowledge whatsoever. Fortunately, to all those within hearing range, he purchased a big fuck-off set of headphones, and set about evolving his music into something of beauty. Something that would make one wish they were married, just so they could leave their spouse to prove their love of these divine gods and goddesses, created and captured within his music. Now, the year is 2007, and, while always experimenting with different styles, I have found myself sitting more or less in the trance genre, with a few mellow/ambient tracks. While I am yet to break up any homes, create or destroy a 'true love' with my music, I am very happy with the quality of my music, always looking to better my previous tracks.

No.

Apart from everything I hear, I am specifically influenced by Paul Oakenfold (particularly his darker tracks, such as "Dread Rock") and too many trance artists to mention. Apart from that, lots of EBM/Futurepop, such as Covenant, Neurotic Fish and VNV Nation. I also let some classical influences creep in.

Mainly FL Studio 6 on my meager PC. Also use a bit of Acid Studio
