So, what's with the name?
Audisey is a made up word which I chose because it sounds just like Odyssey, which is, by definition, an intellectual or spiritual quest. My goal as a musician is to inspire and enlighten, and I believe my name reflects that.
What's the process you go through while composing?
When I create a song, I start completely from scratch. I believe that's the best way to really explore my creativity and it's music I can truly call my own. My music is very complex and hard to define, which I why I don't constrain myself to one genre. I like to play around with different genres, and sometimes I mesh them together in an attempt to create something truly unique.
When did you first start producing?
Here's a little time line to help you out:
2001 - I started using Dance Ejay software
2004 - After a few years experience with Dance Ejay, I decided to put some of my songs up on soundclick.com under the name of Ejay Strobelight .
2005 - I finally gave up on Ejay and started experimenting with Propellerheads Reason software, and I will never ever go back to Ejay!
2007 - I changed my name to Audisey and after almost two years of using Reason, my proficiency with the software has become fairly high.
What are your influences?
ATB, Paul Van Dyk, Armin Van Buuren, DJ Tiesto, Robert Miles, Pachelbel, Chopin & many other great composers.
What equipment do you use?
I use these amazing tools when I produce:
Propellerheads Reason - tracking, mixing and mastering
KRK Rockit 8 monitors paired with a Rockit 10" subwoofer
M-Audio FastTrack Pro USB Audio/MIDI Interface
My trusty 10 year old Yamaha keyboard
A MIDI cable that connects my Yamaha keyboard to my interface (I track everything via MIDI)
Everything is hooked up with mogami cables (the best freakin' audio cables ever made!)
