That was interesting.
Well welcome to the board. I'm a newby too. Joined since attending the Northeast Electro-music Festival this year... Don't know much about Dubstep though. I'm an older guy who is mostly old-school heading up towards "dark ambient" for lack of a better term. I have dug some Techno from time to time although it's not really my bag for the most part. I've lost track of what's new in the electro-dance world since the advent of Triphop and Drum and Bass, although a fellow electro-muso from Buffalo who's now living in Europe turned me onto this thing in Germany called Breakcore...
Anyways, good luck, etc... BTW my own project is called Foot and Mouth Disease. Yeah, I started out doing 'noise'/power electronics and back then you had to come up with the most over-the-top name as possible. |

Thanks for sharing a bit of your story. I did listen to a few of your tracks...pretty compelling! They obviously link you to a whole different state of mind than the stuff I have been listening to recently...but it's great to have an eye-opening experience every once in a while.
To be truthful - and please don't tell anyone - I'm 48 years old myself. Way past the median age for most people into this electonic stuff, for the most part. I guess I'm not really acting my age being all involved in writing these "tracks"....
My background for 30 years was in jazz and all things urban, musically speaking. The thing is, in 2009, I became a "real" producer...which by today's standards means, I bought a laptop and quit using the onboard workstation on my keyboard. The point is, I was really trying to learn modern music production.
Then suddenly, early in 2015, I sort of accidentally discovered the vast, wonderful world of contemporary electronic music. As a student of mixing and sound design, I found that this ocean of musical thought and resources gave me something to really sink my teen into (frankly, I had gotten bored of trying to find a new twist to regular, old R&B writing). And truthfully, I just plain loved the sound...so I was instantly hooked. Hence the focus on the Dubstep genre for the last few years.
In the long run, to really grow, I'm thinking I eventually need to head over toward what might be called the John Williams/Hans Zimmer approach...in my estimation, that will represent true maturity as a composer. So I guess I'm somewhere mid-stream in the process. It's fine though, if it allows me to sharpen my skills and meet some good people along the way. |
