Band Name Etymology:
404 error is a bad web page request.
An Era is a span of time.
A 404 is also a electronic synth machine.
404era is a play on these words...

Band is a bit of an over statement at this point. Its just me, my PC and some samples. The fact that I haven't a clue is what makes my music unique, its like having written a book when you've never read one...

:::4/08 UPDATE:::

Suddenly overwhelmed with euphoria I have decided to dedicate my new album to the luxurious sounds of ambiance. While i cannot ignore that the songs simply come to me without forethought, my intent from here out is a more mellow and exotic sound. I hope you like this new direction

I have become a "computer expert" (like a lot of you, I assume) and electronic music was a natural progression for me as an artist. I work my 40hrs as a web designer, how I got there from graphic artist I don't quite recall. I think I started creating music more intensly about 5 years ago to replace a stiffled artistic outlet. Having no formal musical training I'm sure any expert could attest there is a certain lack of finesse to my brand of tuneage, but I like it, nontheless, and perhaps you do to.

I sort of got tired of letting just a few friends hear what I had done and getting polite smiles in return, as if I were crazy to keep cranking these terds out. Perhaps if enough of you beg me to I will stop. If I'm not completely nuts some of you will say its not so bad and I will press on...

If you do like this crazy amalgam of old school beats, electronic 404 synth and (sometimes) obscure movie samples please visit the MUSIC page on my site for about 30 more such agonizing assemblages. I am not a DJ, I am not a mixmaster, I don't have 6000 12"'s in crates in my house, I don't even have a very robust cd collection. Take that as you may, I guess I'm either raw, unaffected and pure or uneducated, misguided and lame. These are all original sounds, loops and beats created by me. All songs are from scratch creations and in some cases span several months work and dozens of iterations. Others, like Endorphin were completed in 2 days with only 3 versions. It is not an exact science for me, sometimes I just get a melody in my head and I build a song around it...
