Profile Information
- Relationship Status:
- Single
- About Me:
- still fighting but realistically finished, jobless and soon homeless like most people: cold, hungry, poor, holding on to gear against all odds
- Band/Musician/Producer Bio
- guitars electric bass keyboards samples and drum programming, composition, tracking, mixing and producing other artists
But I like to keep the samples bar soft instruments and drums to themselves)
- Favorite Music...
- jazz blues funk soul Afro-fusion Afro-Latin electronica reggae dub reggae maskandi/mbaqanga zouk Mizik rasin rai Arabic and Middle Eastern a bunch of African genres some disco; everything except opera and thrash metal ... I like to make cinematic stuff and some house, instrumental hip hop and old school kwaito. Most of all I like mixing all these styles together
- Favorite Music Gear
- I use only Cubase and Remix (Live 1 for sample manipulation); very occasionally Rewired Live Lite. Audacity, Wavelab Lite. "Vocoder" was done on a friend's rig. I have an ADI2 converter I really like, with an HDSP9632, and a "toy" dual mono preamp that is very useable. Some other stuff, jamlab for lap. But nearly all these recordings were made with a cheap MI4 USB1 box or a slightly better sounding if less flexible EMU0404 PCI card, cheapest MIDI keys (e49), stereo mixer and VST freeware on a Celeron PC. Never had the chance to use the good gear and never will. All the guitars and fender bass were DI'ed
- Anything Else?
- still sad to leave (or rather return in elemental form to) this scorched earth, to have missed my vocation (I was a senior newspaper copy editor, one day you get thrown away), which is not print media but composition and production. I never got anywhere near this stuff playing live (old school reggae and funk, much as I sometimes enjoyed that). By the time DAWs arrived Babylon was already burning and they are perishing in the storm as I write this. I can only hope something emerges from the ashes. I love music. Peace, as Chris says. And damn the perpetual diseases of jealousy, brutality and above all greed
