Confessions of a metal-head

[MusicForAirheads]

I'm very excited to own a Virus TI despite the ongoing problems with stability and integration. The bastard sounds incredible and that's what matters to me....can't wait for OS 3 when all this shit is fixed though!......

I was a metal-head and totally against electronic music until age 16 when I found in my posession NIN's Downward Spiral, Pink Floyd's entire back catalogue, and Eno's Music for Airports. Soon after I bought a little-remembered compilation called 'Amberdelic Space' in '96 which had four CDs of the most mind-bending ambience/progressive Trance/Electronica I'd ever heard. (I recently found it again online from a small 2nd-Hand CD shop in the UK, and It's found it's way back into my collection!)

Learning about Synths then became my obsession. I also got into Digidesign Protools, which for me was simply another step on the way to the 'ultimate' Modular Synth, and a great way to produce! Then computers got better just when I needed 'em to!.....

These days I'm equally interested in good sound-design/ambience/atmospheres, and good 'hooky' tracks, pop, and yes Metal! Thank god for Tool, what a band.....

Here's to open-mindedness, experimentation, and courage in music and sound! Cheers!
