Hola! Como Estas?

[AlexHall74]

Since 1998 I have lived in Tallahassee.

I lived in Orlando from 94-97 and loved the old skool FL breaks too.

We went to see DJ Andy Hughes and Kimball Collins whenever they were around. So many good DJs spun there in those years. I became an electronica junkie at that point!

I was a military kid and moved around alot so when I gre up I had to choose where home was going to be. I came to Orlando to finish college, ended up going to raves, clubs, and house parties for 2.5 years instead, then moved to D.C. and got my shit together as a software analyst, and then came down here to Tallahassee to REALLY finish college (which I have!) and now to raise a family.

Tallahasse is a great place to have small kids. It is not the beautiful beachy part of Florida like Clearwater but the Emerald Coast is close enough to us for when we need it. I went to Anna Marie Island (by Bradenton) last year and was blown away. That's a really nice beach...

I sold it all to go all software, until they announced the TI. I figured I could consider it software since it was integrated!

Your rationalization ("justification" is such a negative word) of a TI purchase is exquisite.

As far as hardware goes, I have owned at one time or another, an MPC2000xl, Korg Prophecy, Access Virus A, Yamaha RM1X, and the first 2 versions of the ekorg electromachines.

What do you think of the current Electribes?

I have toyed with the idea of getting one (EMX-1 or ESX-1) or maybe a DS Evolver.

I still have a nice Ibanez RG550, Line 6 FlexTone II, Ibanez SR-300 Bass, and Crate BT50 bass amp (that Iplay my Virus through mostly!) as well as some mics, rack effects, etc.

I am trying to blend the chromatic sounds of the guitar and bass with the synth atmospheres, pads, leads, fills, and of course drums. There is no way I am buying a drum set!

I hope to be making some coll and unique trance and breaks by the middle to end of this year.

Are you in Washington D.C. or Washington State? I lived in D.C. for 7 years, my parents are still in Reston.
