- Short answer
what/who got you into tracking to begin with?
mostly kneko for having never stopped
are you still making music/with what equipment and or programs?
hell yeah. ITv2.14, soundforge4.0
(where can we find your work?) phluid.acid.org, mp3.com/phluid,
vitiminic.org (under phluid), riffage.com (under phluid), on pHluid
radio via live365.com
if you could work with any one musician or band, who would it be and why?
autechre. i really just gotta know how the hell they make those sounds.
mad.
has being in pHluid changed your career plans? (you now want to be a
professional musician, you now ARE a professional musician, you devoted
too much time to it and you flunked out of school and or lost your job?)
not particularly, although i feel capable of putting together some tracks
for back end purposes with small programs and such.
how do you feel about the current tracking scene?
i think it's as devoted as ever. it's kind of rough being in this
position where we do everything "the hard way" and with little to no
budget necessary. i find it very honorable and i have a great deal of
respect for these people.
how do you feel about MP3's, music piracy, and free music?
i think it should be a choice. i understand that music is how some
people make a living but it does seem a bit excessive at some points.
i mean, they're still making millions of dollars off of people purchasing
hard copies of their material, going to their concerts, and buying their
merchandise. to some, i say, 'ok, that's fair'...but to most of them, i
say, 'quit yer bitchin!' : )
