Influences include but are not limited to:
Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Kid 606, Venetian Snares, Kraftwerk, The Beatles, The Beta Band, The Beach Boys, Si Begg, The Carpenters, Pink Floyd, Prince, Prodigy, S Club 7.
My influences are quite varied so it's understandable that I'm into almost anything from traditional marching band music all the way across the musical spectrum to glitch.
Sounds Like
Some say I sound like Aphex twin. Personally, I think I sound like a fart in a trance.
I guess I've been a musician of sorts all my life but I only really started getting into electronic music at around 11 years old. It was quite a common sight when I was a wee nipper to walk into my bedroom and trp over old tape recorders, computers and record players that I had cannibalised for musical purposes.
I started with computer based music with my old ZX Spectrum and a home made midi/sampling dongle. I wish I still had it! Naturally, I went through the whole Atari thing (as you do) and am now fully PC'ed up.
As some of you may know already, I'm a demo song/content provider for FL Studio. I've been using the aforementioned since about 1998 and I'm not about to change!
I also run a forum based website for producers called AudioFoolz. The address is http://audiofoolz.com/ if you fancy checking it out.
About my album
My album, entitled "Amy" is now available. To give you a taste of what's on it, you can hear three of the tracks in the player above.
The fourth track in the MySpace player is one of the tracks I've given as a free download to my mailing list subscribers. You can be one of those if you like. Here's the link: Click ME to join Pilchard's mailing list!

I went to check out if you had written any works of art for Image-line.. But I didnt find any. Only tzatchitx.
I'm trying to work on my distorted deep bass. Heres what I use most of the time: Synth (Short 6 in Channel preset: 3xOsc) -> Blood overdrive + Fast Dist.
I change the distortion type from A to B. Turn pre amp, Threshold, Mix level and post gain all the way up. And in Blood overdrive I tune the Color to around .5, preamp .7, post filter .5, and post gain -0.3.
Tell me if thats any good. I need to work out a pattern or melody. How do you do your patterns? Is there some sort of basic skeleton/law to deep distorted bass? It would really help if you tell me
Please check out my profile. There"s a map that shows where people visit from. It"s really cool. I have a new song, Now. Please listen to it and rate it. Thanks.

What plugins do you use for your tech hard bass man?! I seriously need to know. Me and my mates we are trying to compose a massive piece, I got my IDM break in it, it just feels like it needs one of your sort of hard glitch bass. Can you tell me how or is it like some sort of family recipe? Lawl I dont know. it would help, not exactly like it though, a tad off your sound but yea.. You know has the same essence?
Awsome! Congrats on your career taking off ay! What is it?
Ohhh just a question about your compositions. I have been puzzled for many months on how you manage to incorporate different sounds to make one nice final sound if you understand? And also, what is your inspiration for your rhythms?
And yehs, Im going pretty damn good.. Enjoying super relaxing holidays hahah and you? Na im not on facebook.. Is it good? Though im pretty damn happy with sticking with myspace for the time being.
