Artist description Using a freeware MIDI sequencer, registered copy of Audio Compositor with Fluid 3 soundfont, and a freeware MusicMatch Jukebox, I make my songs. If I ever sing to them, I'll be using Goldwave for that. While I have limitations to the realism of my songs because they are midis, I try to make them at least interesting for me to listen to, and I'm a very picky music critic. I would encourage anyone who sucks at playing instruments to look into making MIDIs or MODs, because it is an unreal experience to create compositions that you love.

Music Style Mostly dark creepy stuff, whether it be rock or ambient

Musical Influences Cake Like, Sugar Ray, Sublime, 311, Kouichi Sugiyama

Artist History Almost 3 years ago, I learned how to make MIDIs in a community college class called Electronic Music Studio. I learned various things about recording arts, digital music via keyboard and computer, and MIDI music with modules, keyboards, and computers. My experience in that studio was so great that I just had to make composing a hobby of mine. First, I began to remake video game tunes I like, mostly from Wizardry, Ninja Gaiden, and Dragon Warrior games (the old school stuff!). Eventually, I began to be able to put my own thoughts down into a song, and out popped my first original, Creepin'. In comparison to everything else I've made, it sucks, but back then, I was ecstatic to have taken such a huge step. More and more songs came. Eventually, I started to make some rock songs that I liked, some that will show up on here soon (Kind will be my next probably). I was chugging out songs or at least ideas of songs at a rate of about 1 or 2 per day for a number of months. Eventually I started slowing down a bit and figured out more techniques to composing MIDIs. Now, I've composed 175 semi-full to full songs (not including remixes), about 85% of which I still like, and easily about 300 ideas that are little chunks of music left unfinished. I have 7 mock albums I've made up but probably have enough songs to make only about 4 or 5 top notch albums (at least top notch to me), which are the only albums I would ever want to release. Most artists are out for fame or money or women or what have you. I have and always will make my music for primarily my own tastes. If I put out albums, I will never put out albums with songs I don't like, because I would lose respect for myself as an artist. So yea...this is me.
