Drum and Bass, melodic, hard step, tech step, new, fresh, psyloken
The very first moment I spawned an interest in associating computers and music came one day when I tried to figure out what the lead singer of Aqua was saying in the song "Roses Are Red". I was intrigued by the reverse effect on the album, and sought to "reverse the reverse" in order to understand what this backwards talk was about. I finally succeeded with a cheap wav editor on my Pentium 1 75MHz-- yeah, this was back in 1996-97. From there I spent countless hours exploring, downloading, and eventually, applying my school-learned percussion skills to make head bangin beats. As my knowledge of programs and understanding of sound editing grew, I then begain to crave a more professional sound--not the video game music you hear on atari, but I wanted to make real music that inspired dreams of faraway places and invoked feelings of adrenaline and pulse-pounding groove. This is about the time I came across Paul Oakenfold and Ak1200. I immersed myself into these new worlds of continous mixes---I analyzed the complexity of AK's wicked and hyper beats and contemplated over how I could somehow replicate the "happy sensation" Oakenfold's music gave me. And thus, I decided it was time to make a demo. My goal--create a CD professing my talent at engineering beats, producing tracks, and remixing other peoples tracks, and make sure that it stays continous throughout--none of this 3-4 second stop between tracks. And 3 years later, here it is. Whenever I listen to it, I reminisce over all inspiration that came into each track, sometimes I laugh, sometimes I wince, but always I am thinking, I could have done this, or I should have done that. My skills have grown, and now, after a long hiatus, it's time to implement my style into some fresh ideas. Where will it go from here?
