Artist description
Thanks for visiting my site! You've probably noticed that my current musical project is creating tunes inspired by the on-line manga/comic called Megatokyo. One of the fun things I try to do in every Megatokyo piece is to include the sound of at least one traditional Asian musical instrument. |

Artist History
I've experimented with synthesizers since building my first one (a PAIA kit synth) in high school. I overdubbed my early tunes by copying back and forth between two cassette decks; I considered a piece finished only when the accumulated tape hiss had gotten so bad I couldn't stand it! I'm very grateful for the advent of affordable, digital recording equipment so that I can make fairly clean-sounding tracks for you. Apivotal musical experience was hearing Ciani's "Seven Waves" album for the first time; before then,I hadn't realized the potential synths hold formaking warm, human music. Other important listening experiences for me include hearing Sasha Matson's "I-5" for the first time, Cocteau Twins' "Treasure", and Jane Siberry's "no borders here". I'm also a huge They Might Be Giants fan but I'm hard-pressed to point to any obvious influence on my work, except in the realm of not taking myself too seriously as an artiste. |
