Artist description A DJ with no discs. So just a J. I'm just a Jockey then. But not the kind who ride horses. Although I'd like to do that, too. I guess you could call me DJ as in Desktop Jockey. Or maybe a Digital Jockey. Or a Damn Jerk. Or Dodecahedron Jim. Or any acronym of DJ if you like.

Music Style Big Beat is the best catagorized description I can think of. I guess it kinda traverses a variety of styles. You know, labeling yourself with one style or gimmick is just handcuffing yourself. It's simple: just try a little not to think in terms of established style patterns, and you quickly realize how much more freedom you have.

Musical Influences Anything with substance. Genre is pretty irrelevant I reckon. "Influences" for me range from Autechre to Pantera to Orbital to Tool - but I ain't one of those "I like anything" bastards. I hate those guys. I only like the good stuff.

Similar Artists Dee Snyder. Jewel. Max Headroom. You know.

Artist History In 1976, I was an arrogant sperm cell with huge ambitions. The ambition still exists, but the little swimming tail has long since fallen off. Though through the aquisition of a brain, large feet, and a computer, I've been able to do a few productive things. These songs are some of them.

Group Members Members? Of my street gang? None so far. Just me. But we're growing steadily. Willard Cochrane.

Instruments My exalted computer, whose name is: The Peice of Shittiest. The Piece of Shittiest is loaded with the motleyest assembly of sound shareware and crap you can shake an e-stick at.

Press Reviews SPIN magazine had a whole pile of good things to say about Grooverider. I'm not Grooverider. I've never even heard a Grooverider song. But the Willard Cochrane Daily Herald did have this to say about it - "Willard Cochrane's music kicks mighty ass and shit!" Plus the Scarlette Cochrane Daily Press also had this to say - "Hey, Will, you're stuff is getting better! Really, I'm not just saying that cuz you're my brother!"
