This Urban Sonic
Personnel: Luke Richards
I basically formulated the 'TUS' project having been on the live circuit as a drummer for a punk band in the mid to late nineties. I really got turned towards sound and layering, plus programming, using midi. It all sounded like a riot! Plus I knew I had some ideas that would not work in the band format, so it came from that. I had no experience in terms of recording and production and do it all by ear. I do it mainly because I enjoy it, I love to bring my music to people and get their opinion good or bad, it doesn't matter.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
No history made yet! ; )
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Not currently though I would like to.
Your musical influences
Barney Sumner, Peter Hook, Gillian Gilbert, Steven Morris, Ian Curtis, Depeche Mode, Recoil, Jean Michel Jarre, Johnny Marr, The Stone Roses, Ian Brown to name just a few..
Joy Division and New Order are probably the most important bands of pre and post modern music.. Their rock and pop sensibility, plus their fusion of guitars and Electronica, not to mention their survival and their humbleness is what I think is truly incredible about them. They are all legendary.
What equipment do you use?
Project 5 v2
Novation K station
Korg N364
Podxt for guitar.
T-Racks
Anything else?
I love English tea, Proper beer, and curry.
