What upcoming release are you excited about?
"Stars n' Bars" Split 12" with remixes by Doormouse on Addict Records
How/when did you get started making this music?
In High-school i was a singer in a hardcore band, then sang and did noise for a noise/grind band. I was really into the whole DHR scene when i was in highschool. Then when i went to college in 2000 and started listening to people like Oval, Kid 606, Squarepusher and Datach'i, and I also got really into the whole minimal/glitch scene with labels like Mille Plateaux(RIP) and Force. So around that time i bought a shitty drum machine and would make tracks using my girlfriend's computer and that "sound recorder" program windows used to have. which could only do about 4 things. but it was cool. those tracks are ridiculous. Actually my good friend Adam does a project right now all on sound recorder, you should check it out to see what I'm talking about: http://www.myspace.com/nontravolta Ok, so i finally got a computer and started using sound-forge and i only made weird noise tracks...then shortly after that started hanging with otto von schirach and dino felipe, and they opened my eyes to all kinds of music i never heard before and it made me want to start making beats. And i've been doing the same shit ever since
..........oh yeah,i was also a minimal/tech house dj for a while back in 2001-2003 and I've been djing an IDM/Noise/Techno//// radio show on 90.5 FM in miami from 2002-Now called the "Electric Kingdom" (old electro track by Twilight 22): http://www.myspace.com/electrickingdomwvum
What do you make music with?
Alot of things actually.
I Like using a lot of different programs because it sort of creates its own sound. It becomes unique, which is always nice with this music. When i use one program on a track i can tell the difference between that, and something i "experimented" more with. So right now, this is kind of the set up
Making sounds consists of recording things with a mic, sampling records, sound designing with soft synths and reaktor, circuit bending and layering effects on random shit. Then i'll go back and cut up what i made and have a new library of sounds.Then i start the track in either fruity loops or Nuendo. I like Nuendo, cause it's professional as fuck and sounds really good, and it allows me to use fruity loops inside of it as rewire plugin. So i can sync up two programs i really like at the same time. Then after i sequence abig chunk of the track i bounce/export separate pieces of it i.e. just kicks, just snares, whatever and open them up in soundforge where allthe magic happens. This is where the song gets sliced and fucked and pretty much becomes good. haha. I also use audiomulch hooked up to a midi controlller and will run pieces of the track through a shitload of vsts and record myself fucking with it.after everything is scrambled and dsp'd out i put it all back together again in nuendo. If i end up mastering the whole track i do it Wavelab
Who are you excited about right now?
Um, well for a while now I've been sweating Errorsmith. that guy is seriously amazing. I'm not sure if you know his stuff, but he does these tracks that sound super simple; Loops, very few sounds... but they slowly change and the sounds slowly peak out and change and morph and its seriously a head trip....
Also this label out of Germany called "miditonal" they put out real crazy techno. It's super fast, super heavy, noisy as fuck but still danceable....
ebola, that guy is just sick....
oh, candie hank!!! which is Patric C. from Ec8or, it's insane. it's like cartoon music/ real goofy. dancey at times....
Sun O.K. Papi K.O. amazing. part of scratchpetland. solo shit. this guy rules....
Other than that a lot of weird french techno that everyone loves now, all the bass music happening out of NYC with my boys Drop theLime and Mathhead, Dino Felipe is still the most talented person making music today. seriously. secret mommy, new mouse on mars is pretty heavy, Niobe is amazing. ok that's it for now.
What is your day job?
haha, right now i work retail. Woo. before that i was a chef, before that, a butcher,before thatI worked at a goodwill donations center, landscaping, blahblah blah.
where should/can I get your music?
Well. hm. i don't have that much out. I have a track on the Addict Records Barn Compilation, a track on the Mochipet "feel my china remix" cd, a track on the Otto V.S. "armpit buffet" remix cd, thenotto and i did this side project a few years ago called "megadebt"which is out on beta bodega/rice and beans, and really that's it. I guess if you google that shit you can find it, cause i really dont even have any of it.I think I'm done now.ok well, thanks.peace-ed--
