Artist History Synister started in 1997 under a variety of different aliases. Back then it was just myself, and computer editing wavs making them sound totally different than when they started. Later that year, I aquired a copy of acid music and mixman studio. That is when the sampling/mixing bug really bit me. Before long i was reasearching famous electronic acts and what instruments they used. Sadly, being 16 i could not afford most of this. In 1998, i conned good ol' mom into buying me a Korg Electribe-R. That was my first taste of an actual drum machine. As the years went on i started saving money and buying more equiptment all the while upgrading my computer since it would serve as the mecca for all of my resources. Finally, it is 2002 and i have assembled a pretty decent amount of equiptment and feel that I can sway more towards original music instead of sampling and mixing.
