Me:
Born 1976 in Norway, I watched and listened as music and arts went from analogue to digital, from Bill Laswell and Jan Hammer's early synthesizers I was curious of how this was at all possible, to make sound out of nothing...and Jean-Michelle Jarre didn't exactly make it easier, I mean, playing lasers between skyscrapers is pretty awesome. I was ten at the time, and my fascination of electro-sound was fueled by the likes of Biosphere and the Orb in the years to come, with photomanipulation and morphing making the music video industry what it used to be.
Even though I have worked as many different things through my life, I have never been able to NOT work with my music, pictures and words. A creative outlet is the best way to keep a sane mind in an insane world, someone really smart once said...I agree...:)
DJ:
I started mixing tapes as early as I can remember, and started playing live at self-made parties and local clubs in the early/mid-90's before working with commercial radio for a while in the late 90's. But the floor has always been my favorite place, so I started playing clubs/venues again in 2000, and since then I've been playing when the occasion rises, and the crowd is right..:)
Production:
I got my first computer/syntesizer set in 1989, an Atari ST with keyboard which was my first introduction to digital music. It didn't last long, the C64 and the SID chip was soon in everybody's home, and it is much more fun to do something together with others. The sounds we made were terrible, and the tracks were mostly used to scare our parents, but the learning experience left a taste for more, and the digital workstations that would cost you a car were suddenly the price of a nice bike. I've been producing stuff in the studio since I got my first PC and sound card, ranging from the recording of airplane engines and making tunes to remixes and mastering, but most of my studio effort these days are more directed toward production and remixing. Live shows? Yes, I like laptop-mixing, as the studio now can go on the road, it is a very rewarding way to work, being able to spend weeks fine-tuning a few hours of music making it ready for the evening, and being able to adjust everything on the fly. But, the vinyls still stay in the bag, we're not all the way there yet...:)
