Liverpool (UK) electronic composer/sound artist |
  |
|
Hi.
I'm an electronic musician based in Liverpool. I've done some shows here with Hive and Binary Jam, and under my pseudonym Amos. I also do installation art, instrumental composition, and sound design. I'm a member of Sound Network and I work at Studiocare, engineer at the Bluecoat and teach in the University. So if you're in Liverpool you've probably run into me at some point...
I joined up specifically because I want to ask some help about a project I'm currently working on, and more generally because I want to learn Max/MSP and I was hoping to find some help/advice with this. I'll create or join threads for both those issues at some point.
In the meantime, hello.
[in edit]:
Oh! I currently mainly use Reaktor running in/automated by Logic, and then manipulate the audio in Pro Tools; hardware-wise my most useful stuff is a Roland Juno-2, Akai S5000, Darkstar 2 and a Yamaha RM1X (so - the audio from Reaktor and Tools goes into the sampler and is then sequenced live from the RM1X). If only I had Ableton.
You can listen at www.myspace.com/amosnoisefoundation if you're interested. |

Nah. There's a common thread in all of those influences. They're all scary and extreme. Apart from Queen.
ATR are a good sort of scary though. I never saw them live but I saw Alec Empire twice and he was ace.
A friend of mine had a Thatcher ketamine nightmare. He was in the hallway of his college whacked off his head and a monster with the head of Thatcher walked right past him in the corridor. He was terrified and tried to push himself back into the wall, with a face like Munch's scream... (he's a scouser so the sight of her is the scariest thing imaginable).
...he subsequently discovered that it actually WAS Thatcher (this was Churchill College Cambridge), but because he was high he thought he must be having a bad trip.
Glad you like my music, thanks.

Tom, 'Sonic Mittens' is absolutely beautiful. Is there anyway to get a copy of this for my iPod? (FWIW, it reminds me of my friend Darren's work. Darren goes under the name of 'Fortdax'- don't know if you've heard any stuff by him?)

come to think of it, this track actually reminds me more of Eno's "An Ever ending Ascent" from "Apollo"

Wow, thanks, I feel honoured. Sure, I can send you an mp3; let me know an email address and I'll send it.
I don't know Fortdax, but I'll look him up. I assume there is a myspace. And I don't know that Eno song, but he is a massive influence on me (in both his own music and his production).
Is that Tele:Funken stuff yours? It's ace! |
