Integer is a 21 year old music producer, specialising in the fields of breakbeat, drum & bass and techno.
Born in Germany, he grew up listening to a mix of folk and reggae fed to him by his parents. Having then moved to England he got into the ska and punk scene in his early teenage years. He was taught piano from a young age until around 12, and was then bought an electric guitar when he turned 14. Playing in several bands throughout his teenage years, he began to develop a taste of composition, as well as a yearning to create music on his own.
Fed by his studies on early versions of Cubase for GCSE Music, he began experimenting with simple dance/trance tunes at home on Fruityloops 3.5. Surrounded by a friendship group consisting mostly of other musicians and producers, Integer along with his friends, began to learn more and more about the complex and exciting world of music production. Spurring each other on, and collaborating as much as possible, the apparent standards of audio quality in all of their tunes began to increase, and the process became all the more rewarding.
A 2 year stint in Leeds then followed, studying music & new media technology at the Metropolitan University. The city had a big influence on the sound in his tunes at this point, living with drum & bass, breakcore and dubstep producers during his 2nd year. The nightlife and club scene in Leeds cemented his ambition of releasing his own records, and he has since been teaching himself all he can find about electronic music production.
Unfortunately, the course he was studying was poor, and he began to feel he was being stunted in terms of his education. He made a decision that he wanted to work in the music industry, and ultimately that would involve some sacrifices. And so he gave up the student lifestyle in Leeds and applied for a music production course at the Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford, where he currently studies.
If anyone in the Guildford area is looking for a producer/engineer/writing partner, get in touch. Collaboration is the key.
Hey, hope all is well! Come by the page and check out my newest tunes "Midnight Rush" and "Gamer's Delight" recently added to the player when you get a chance.
"Midnight Rush" has a more Brookes Brothers/Futurebound vibe while "Gamer's Delight" is just full-blown dirty analog bliss. Leave some love if you like what you hear, it's always appreciated. Big up!
