Columbus Ohio
age 45
happily divorced
listened to Sonic Youth, Depeche Mode, Skinny Puppy in high school but Neubauten really blew open the idea I could make music with anything. Started with a tape deck and Portasound drum machine and groaning in 92.
Recently became a Motorhead fan late in life after acquiring a taste for top shelf liqour, as well as jazz and Absinthe, IDM and java.
Maybe it was one of the Coil crew who sums it up, I shall quote loosely,
ā€œThink jazz, think punk attitudeā€

43, Kyiv, Ukraine.
single for musical efficiency reasons (to have moar time & money for music).
music is my night shift, and the daily job is Linux system administrator.

started in 1991 in a basement punk bad as a singer, then became a drummer. at the moment, shifted primarily to finger drumming techniques for the rig portability reasons.
since punk was musically boring, i switched to industrial & 80s gothic rock. got into electronic music listening to Throbbing Gristle, Coil, Laibach. then in the mid 90s became a great fan of all those acid sorts of dance electronic, and then fell in love with goa tranceā€¦ and still there.

90s/2000s Ukraine was really poor, so now iā€™m doing the music i could not afford back in the days, with extensive usage of the gear i could not afford back in the days. late 90s/early 2000s were the golden era of grooveboxes and virtual analog synths, and iā€™m a great fan of the gear of that time.

oh, and my musical motto is:
live sound, even recorded, is always better than recorded sound

Hahahha what??? What a fantastic post! Is this you?

I can imagine listening to some BoC looking at that view. Nice

nope. i found it yesterday in some another topic here on Electronauts.

32 from the small sunny island of Malta (Europe)ā€¦techno head from as long as i can remember.
Producing techno for about 16 years always digital. This year i decided to take the leap of going into hardware and havenā€™t opened a vst ever since :smile: i love my machines and come up with ideas much faster. Have been finding it very inspirationā€¦apart from when GAS kicks in :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
