- Short answer

what/who got you into tracking to begin with?
Somms (Jeff Lindsey). ACiD Alumni

are you still making music/with what equipment and or programs?
(where can we find your work?)
Yes... with an MC-505, CuBase VST, FruityLoops Pro, and a Phat Boy
controler.  I've been pretty bad about putting my stuff online (even tho
this is the golden age of MP3 distro), but every once and a while you
might hear a loop a did on a web site that I did.  www.dnastudio.com


if you could work with any one musician or band, who would it be and why?

Necros.

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?)

Because of phluid (ACiD) I got into HTML, which lead to Flash, which
lead to me making shit loads of money making pixels dance on monitors.  ;)



how do you feel about the current tracking scene?

Seems like it needs a center like it used to have in #trax and
ftp.hornet.com.  But maybe that's just me... I've been pretty out of it
for the last few years.


how do you feel about MP3's, music piracy, and free music?

I LOVE free music.  I HATE the RIAA.  I think the record industry should
die.  Hornet was a perfect example of how free music CAN work.
As for MP3's... there's no stopping it now.  There is NO anti-piracy
measures that anyone can take to end what has begun.  I think it's great!
