Artist description Punk techno

Music Style I think I made my own music genre. But if it had to be labeled, its kind of trance-industrial-IDM-ambient-triphop esque

Musical Influences percieved reality

Artist History This might look really long because I don't know how to make paragraphs using Mp3.com's web site. Well it probably is too long, but the fact that the paragraphs might not come out will make it much more intimidating in size for the average reader to want to spend their time reading all of it. And I can just picture telling someone to read this and they say "What.. the WHOLE THING!?". But I wrote this and its here and probably 2 people might read this, so this goes out to all two of you. As for the single spaced condensed text, I did try to make it readable...I hit enter and tried to put the spaces that are supposed to there, but they don't want to show up for some reason. Its like typing with "Microsoft Word", it's so easy to use that you have no control and it just messes up for you so you don't have to do it. But maybe its my internet browser and this will come out with spaces on your screen. I don't know. I just want to say I'm sorry if you take the time to read this and your eyes hurt because there are no paragraphs. So for everyone that can't see spaces that separate the text in this window, I will put a "/p" for everytime there is supposed to be a paragraph. This way you can pretend the breaks are there. But yeah, here's my amazing and exciting history!!! Perhaps my "/p"'s along with my excessive use of uneeded puncuation and my incessant rambling will prove this "Artist History" to be an enjoyable reading adventure! /p /pMy name is Tom and I'm 23 years old. I guess you want to know my music history, not my entire history, so I'll try to stick to that. I've been dabbling ("dabbling" is such a great word isn't it?) with computers and sound programs since I was 16 or so. I took 4 years of piano. I played saxophone in my school bands from 5th grade till I graduated high school. I was in the marching band, jazz band, symphonic band, and concert band (and dude, I like totally went to band camp, dude). I was also a sax player in two bands that performed around the New Hampshire and Massachusetts areas (and for the people who don't know: Massachusetts and New Hampshire are actually 2 of the fifty states in the US. THEY ARE NOT TOWNS. I say this not because I think someone from a country other than the US wouldn't know, but because some people I've met from the western US don't even know that. I just figured that people would've paid attention in one of their umpteen geography classes that the United States education system requires you to have from grades 1-10. I think 3rd grade was where I studied geography most intensively. I memorized all the capitals of the states one time when I was 9 and my grand mother gave me some present that I don't really remember, but the point remains: people that are over 2nd grade should know that New Hampshire and Massachusetts are states in the US...Ok, I'm done venting). /pI'm just going to start a new paragraph and even put an extra carriage line (I think carriage line is the word I'm looking for) below this because those parentheses were way too long. /p(music history continued) /pI just started playing guitar about a year ago. I sing a lot, although I haven't released a track with my vocals yet. I play the turn tables, if you call it "playing" (some people call it "spinning wheels" or "shredding vinyl", I should change the bands name to "DJ VINYL SHREDDER", I just thought of that. You can email me on what you think of that too if you want). /pI got off track again...starting a new paragraph... /p /p(music history continued 2) /pFor the past 6 years I have been recording/composing music on my computer in my free time when I'm not depressed, suicidal, playing video games, or sleeping. (I'm not kidding or trying to give off the "poor me" artist look, I am really suicidal. In fact, I even came back from the mental institution a few weeks ago. I don't regret going, it really helped actually. Some people think it looks bad if you are sent to the "loony bin" for a while. I choose to view it optimistically. I mean...If that isn't a sign of an emerging artist, I don't know what is). /pI got off track yet once again. /p /p(music history continued 3) /pI have embarked on lots of artistic projects and created a lot of psuedo-bands with my friends. Check the links page if your interested, all the links are my bands or me with someone else, or friends of mine that I have produced their albums (the exception being "Dave Hicks" and "Rekline" which were approximately 95.3842% produced and recorded in Portland by Dave Hicks using "halfnote productions" equipment). /pAs for current music stuff... /pFor the past year, I have (for the most part) been working on "Quasatronic Mindphone" stuff (I said "stuff" in the sentence right before this one...very unprofessional). I still need to fix the page and upload my new mixes and a few new songs. /pAlong with QM stuff,I am currently working on another project with one of my friends called "Suburban Exposure" which will be up on mp3.com someday. /pAnd as for my history with non music stuff (gotta love the word "stuff")...I have an associates in Computer Science and a certificate in Web Design and Development. I moved to the Seattle area and started attending a college for programming video games for 2 semesters. But now I just decided video game programming sucks...and actually, programming in general. So I dropped out of school and moved back home to SNH till I sort out where I am going to school ("SNH" is colloquial speak for "Salem, New Hampshire" ("colloquial speak" is Dork for "gansta talk") ). /pSo now comes the plan...The time is always now, right? (did I just make that up? - "The time is always now" - I like that. I probably didn't make it up, I think the "keeper of the grove" in "warcraft 3" says that now that I think of it) /pThe time is now and "now" I've decided to stop dreaming and just become a techno superstar. So amidst working a shitty dead end job, I have been recording some tracks. Hopefully you will like my music. The best is still yet to come. Keep in mind, these tracks were recorded with VERY minimal funding. But, if you buy my CD, I can get better equipment to provide you with better sound. Also, buy my cd and you can help me get out of this hole so I can stop being unhappy, going nuts, and writing neurotic bio's on myself. /pBut yup...that's a some-what 'brief', and yet I feel for some reason 'wordy', overview of me. Guess it depends on your perspective of how long, "long" or "brief" is when it comes to describing your entire history on one web page. But regardless of your perspecitive on how long "long" is...The perspective I really want most is yours on my music. Hopefully it will be good and if not, don't hesitate to tell me how you think it could be better. Good job! You Read it! God, your eyes must hurt so bad right now! Thanks for reading, though.

Group Members Tom Wolfe - short, bald and sexy! Occasionally I am referred to as "Jokoo" or "DJ Whitey White White". I am trying to stray away from the "DJ Whitey White White" name because I have a shaved head and "White" is in "DJ Whitey White White" three times and the conicidental relation to the "kkk" having 3 "K's" and the fact that a lot of people are nuts enough to actually make these connections. So, sometimes I felt like it made me look like a skin-head. But I assure you that I am not and I'm going to give a history of the name "DJ Whitey White White" to prove it. The name "DJ Whitey White White" came from a manager at Denny's that knew I made music and tried to invent new DJ names for me all the time. One day I was complaining about how every DJ name was trendy and made the DJ seem like some ghetto pimp that they weren't. I said I wanted the most unhip name possible, just to make a statement. Then he called me "DJ Whitey White" because DJ's are known to have good rhythm and just being known as "some dj white guy" could make me seem extremely unhip. Then we entered this phase where everytime I went to Denny's he would call me "DJ Whitey White [insert my hair color here]". So at one point when my hair was blue it was "DJ Whitey White Blue" and when my hair was red, it was "DJ Whitey White Red", and I even got "DJ Whitey White Bald". I just happened to make this mp3.com site when my hair was bleached and my name was "DJ Whitey White White", so that is my express URL (thats "united resource locator" for those of you that don't know, which means: the web address. or if thats still too complex: I am saying type "www.mp3.com/djwhiteywhite" without the quotes to access my site again. I want to change my express URL to "QM" or something, but I can't find out how to in the Artist Administration section. And yes, my Computer Science degree is great for knowing useless acronyms like "URL") Back to the skin-head rumor though. All joking aside...honestly, I'm the most pro-equal-rights guy I know and I go by "Tom", not "DJ Whitey White White", and my band's name is "Quasatronic Mindphone". And just to change the subject: "What kind of person doesn't like Zombies, Ninjas, or Pirates...honestly?"

Instruments anything that makes noise and my computer: primarily synths, groovebox, guitar, bass, drum machine, turn tables, i don't use preprogrammed beats or riffs, i don't use samples unless i am sampling myself (well i used 2 samples on my new album, but its in the song info), i am just sick of talentless shit on the net...but even more digusted that they make money and i don't :-/

Press Reviews I don't care about professional reviews. If I actually listened to what "critics" in the press thought of my music, especially when I started, I would probably not be making it right now. But if I actually had any reviews to put here, other than ones me or my friends could make up...I'd probably put some to make me look all flashy. Although, my ex-roomate said, "...sounds like a whole army of shaolin monks playin the drums super crazy fast!" I thought that was a good quote.
