Sounds Like
A hybrid of electronic influences spanning 30 years.
I started making music back in '79 when, with a couple of friends, I formed a punk/new wave rock kind of band that, frankly, sounded dreadfull but was a lot of fun to do. But I always really wanted to make electronic music. I had a large collection of albums featuring the electronic bands of the time. Bands like Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk, Klaus Schulze and of course the up and coming british electro scene with artists like OMD, The Human League, Gary Numan, Bronski Beat and Depeche Mode. In fact, if it featured a synthesizer, I bought it.
It wasn't until 1985 that I managed to buy my first synth. A Kawai 100F monophonic, and then proceeded to spend all my hard earned money on building my collection of Roland gear mainly. The TR808, TB303, SH101 and MC202 along with a cheap string sounding organ for those pad sounds and a few effects. But even with all that gear I found the sound I was making was very limited and not what I ultimately wanted to do. Frustrated, I eventually sold the lot and stopped making music for about 8 years. Then a friend showed me an Amiga computer and a programm called OCTAMED.
I thought this was amazing. Four tracks of audio, all sequenced, and you could easily save your work. This was the way to go. It got me back into making music big time. I even used it in a small concert I did with a friend of mine, Maxine. (See pics) I used this set-up for about 5 years, then Max got a proper PC and an early version of cakewalk. This was very impressive, and since then I have gone down the pc route.
I now produce all my music on a laptop with various software programms including REASON 4, CUBASE SX and fruity loops.
I control it all via a Novation X-Station 49. I also use a Novation Nova II synthesizer.
Vocoding and speach synthesizing is a large part of my sound and I use various TTS utilities.
I have been featured on a number of internet radio shows including Shinebox radio in Belfast, The excellent "MUSIC NON SUCK" radio show by 216 productions, Canadian college campus radio, Electroland radio in Denmark and the brilliant "ROBOCAST RADIO SHOW" here in the UK, as well as shows in Spain and Belgium, and have just had my first radio play in Kyoto in Japan thanks to OKA RIUICHIRO from Kanade.
Minimalism is the key, an experiment if you like, to see if I can create a lot of noise with very little gear.
So enter the world of bleeps and beats and electronic voices where the influence of Kraftwerk is obvious.
Hello! Thank you for adding me to your circle of friends. Please dream away in virtual landscapes of (my?) music and visuals. - good sound here! Lots of greetings from Cologne – Germany - Norbert (Cosmic-Project)
