APXX

I'm all about the fine arts. I do mostly freelance stuff- photography & digital art/design. I was also into sculpture & painting, though I've been living with a chronic illness for over 8 years now, & don't have the freedoms I used to. Basically I do what I can when I can. I got into recording music over the last few years (something creative I can do while sitting in bed). Just for fun at first, until my stuff began to improve. I've created many loops & think it's about time I share some. I also managed to make enough tracks that I actually like enough not to throw out. I plan to release my first EP sometime in the next week or so.

As far as "real" instruments go, I mainly play guitar. I play on the keys as well, but wouldn't call myself a 'piano player' though I do compose segments here & there for loops. Other than that, it's mostly synthesizer effects, beat creations & sound manipulation. The loops I use are mostly my own, though I do sample on occasion.

Mackbook, M-Audio interface & 2 midi keyboard controllers.

I've been listening to my own stuff lately in preparation for release- polishing, refining, last-minute improvements, that sort of thing. A little nervous, to be honest!

I'll get back to you on that...

Electronica:
Orbital, Future Sound Of London, Tegma, Tiesto, DJ Irene, Hybrid, BT, Oakenfold, Infected Mushroom, Delerium, Underworld, Front Line Assembly, Massive Attack, etc.

Other:
Joy Division, NIN, U2, Ministry (older stuff), Skinny Puppy, Front 242, Public Image Ltd, Dave Mathews, Zeppelin, Floyd, Bowie, Dylan, Hendrix, The Police...

* All I can think of at the moment- I'll be back...

I guess it would fall under the category of Electronica & Dance- though a lot of it is experimental.

Photographer, Digital imagery & design/manipulation.
