aboemusic

Producer of a variety of music, based in London.

Started making music on a Playstation 2 (and Music 3000) back in 2006, so have amassed almost 20 years of hobbyist producing experience.

So far, some of the genres I've touched on are House, 80's Pop/Synthwave, 1950's Big Band, Rock/Indie, Alternative, Pop, RnB and Dub/Ska.

more or less fully computer-based nowadays

Studio One Pro 7, Serum (1 & 2), various free VST plugins (love a good freebie) such as Analog Lab V, and a few others plucked from the sales, like Clarity VX, etc.

Also a subscriber to Soundsonline's OPUS suite and more recently Ace Studio (an AI vocal-producing software, helpful for putting demo-like vocals onto a track in order to better realize a project's potential).

Some of the stuff here on looperman is quite inspiring...

D'Angelo by D'Angelo, wip3out sountrack, Tenchu soundtrack, Best of Blur, Choral Classics, 2001, The Slim Shady LP, Simple Things, Hi-Fidelity Lounge 1-4

influences come from far and wide: Lisa Gerrard, Roop Verma, Zero 7, Eminem and Angie Stone, to name but a few.

A variety of different artists influence my own style and so my sound is probably a bit like thiers and hopefully unique enough to be called my own. I do enjoy a good 'proof of concept' project though: "what would a track by me sound like if it were made in the style of x artist" kind of thing... Lady Gaga, The Specials, S-Club Seven and The Prodigy are some of the artists which have inspired me in this way so far...

lives in a parallel universe, in which music is life and people dance in the streets unashamedly. The clouds rain music for all to hear and the synergistic binary star system beams down a light show like no other.
