I'm VinaBlue: an electronic composer, lyricist and singer. I'm looking for a producer, drum programmer, guitarist and anyone else who would like to collaborate. I'd like to venture into World Music by using tabla, harmonium, saxophones, marimba... The possibilities are endless!
Band/artist history
I've always loved to sing... I studied piano, voice, African Drumming and Electronic Music in college. I have an A.S. in Commerical Music. I've been working on these songs on and off for a few years. For more music, please visit http://www.soundclick.com/lunaarcana
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I don't play live right now. I used to sing backup and play a drum for my friend, Butterfly. I enjoyed that very much, however I became frustrated because I wanted to do my own music. Once these songs are finished I plan to put together a band and start bringing new life to these songs on stage.
Your musical influences
Duran Duran was the first band to inspire me to create music. I love all 80's music and synths. Depeche Mode, Madonna, Bjork, Sting, Sade, Tori Amos, Prince, Terence Trent D'arby, Ruby, Poe, The Doors and many more inspire me. I love movie scores. My favorite score composers are Elliot Goldenthal, Greame Revell, Thomas Newman and Danny Elfman. I love Indian music, and Vivaldi really rocks my world.
What equipment do you use?
Very low key. Korg N364 for the sounds. Roland HP1900G weighted digital piano. Cakewalk ProAudio 9. No amps. Microphone is a hand me down. I play everything live on the synth and record using midi.
I just got a new mic (MXL990) and Reason. Now I need to upgrade my pc so I can put some new stuff together... Stay tuned...

I really like your music, especially Belong, Naked, and Move. You have really captured a great vibe on these tracks. The vocals are beautiful - on Belong especially. Amazing what cheap mics can do right? This song reminded me of Portishead - in a good way, not too similar but a similar kind of feel.
Hey Vina! I listened to "Internal Innuendo" for the first time today, and I am very impressed! I like it very much. I think you should extend this one, and add a string ensemble and some slow groove drums to it. It reminds me of Art Of Noise and Enigma. Nice work!
Peace,
Jason
Thanks for the nice comments on Prince.org. I have to return the favor and let you know that your stuff is interesting to say the least. The drums are very tight and the overall composition is expansive. I hate to label anyone but I hear a definite TOOL influence mixed with an 80's synth feel. Very nice, and challenging. You say that your mic is old, but it really doesn't sound half bad. I myself am looking to invest in a good mic pre. I think that is jst as important as the mic itself. Anyways, I'll be checking back to see any updates...keep up the good fight
