Where are you from? <\/strong>Cleveland, Mississippi<\/span><\/p>\n

Your music Style\/Genre: <\/strong>Live experimental neo-rave. Acid\/techno\/trance\/breakz\/IDM\/noize<\/span><\/p>\n

What is your preferred approach to making sounds?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Using only vintage electronic music hardware, I sequence up to 16 MIDI parts in each pattern with my sequencer to trigger all my MIDI gear with self-made presets designed to be as expressive and diverse sounding as possible. The patterns and their combinations form songs that I string together for live shows. I basically bring a vintage techno studio with me and perform with that!<\/span><\/p>\n

Early music experience: <\/strong>Piano and Classical guitar lessons when I was young. I found techno internet radio when I was 6. Ishkur\u2019s Guide was extremely formative in my music taste.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"14012288_10157254908290621_855614635_n\"<\/a>Why did you start playing? <\/strong>Why let people with guitars have all the glory?<\/span><\/p>\n

What are some of your favorite bands? <\/strong>Aphex Twin, GFOTY, Meat Beat Manifesto, DJ Hixxy, Lily, & Vektroid.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most memorable person you\u2019ve jammed with<\/strong>: I once performed in an experimental improvisational jam concert with 14 musicians that was put together by Daniel Guaqueta<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you have a \u201cday job\u201d? If so, where?<\/strong> I volunteer at a local thrift store. I also freelance wherever I can in fields such as audio engineering, graphic design, and web design. I also record people at my home studio W210 LABS!<\/span><\/p>\n

Aspirations: <\/strong>Provide myself a comfortable living through music: help me reach my aspiration! <3<\/span><\/p>\n
