Artist description Innovative, original, unique, and otherwise self-glorifying symphonic electronica, all composed and performed by one guy working off of his laptop.

Music Style Well, there's all sorts of stuff in here, although I like to refer to it as "electro-orchestral." I've also been told that some of my music sounds like stuff from some of the better next generation video games. (Final Fantasy, Einhänder, etc.)

Musical Influences Ludwig Von Beethoven, Danny Elfman, Jerry Goldsmith, Gustav Holst, Kenji Ito, Yasunori Mitsuda, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Nobuo Uematsu, John Williams

Artist History Started during the summer of 1997 over on my 486, I began toying with a nifty little program called Impulse Tracker. It's a digital music program, and I am very fond of it.I never considered sharing my talents with the masses until about 9 months ago, when I started posting some of my songs at the ModArchive. I hate them. Oh God, I hate their very infrastructure. Anyway, that wasn't exactly a fun time...Now I've figured out how to use ModPlug Tracker to convert my .it's into .wav's, and then into .mp3's. So, Data Switch (formerly Chalkdust (formerly Eiyofuryo (formerly GalaXis (formerly Papier Mache Accordion)))) is up and running. Let's hope for the best.

Group Members Greg Hansen, the one-man show. Currently attending Bullard High School, planning on attending UCLA with a major in Musical Composition. That's right, I'm goin' all the way.

Instruments Dell Latitude XPi CD laptop w/ p133-MMX running Impulse Tracker version 2.14, also ModPlug Tracker and AudioCatalyst to convert to mp3

Press Reviews The only stuff I have so far is peer adulation. Dave says Lamia is like a musical orgasm. John, Charles, Dylan, Robin, Josh, and Devon all enjoy my work. Alison has invented a new genre for me: Scary Boss Music.
