[TECHiONE]

Name, Nick or moniker:
Dave McCann, TECHiONE, DAMC, Sojourner Rover

City:
Adelaide, Sydney from 1995 onwards

Age:
31

Length of Experience:
My whole life really. I've always had a passion for music, creating music, experimenting with sound and noise. Most of my childhood, and teenage years were spent messing about with recording, mixing equipment, microphones, hi-fi gear, speakers, musical instuments, computers, electronics, synthesizers, then in the later years getting more serious about it all, getting into MIDI, sequencing, then sampling.

I had a bunch of keyboard/piano lessons in the mid 80's. Began playing keyboards in live bands and performing live around 86/87. Around this time got into song writting/programming as well, and my first experiences with pro-level recording and mixing in studio's etc.

I did the 1 year School of Audio Engineering Diploma fresh out of High School. Did the live band mixer/engineer thing for a while.

Regular performances, as keyboardist/song writer, recording and touring around Australia, with live band BLISS 1990-1996. Regularly performed with the likes of Def FX, Insurge, Caligula, Swoop, Renegade Funk Train (Sound Unlimited Posse), Skunkhour, D.I.G, Regurgitator to name a few, we even supported The Shamen (UK) in Adelaide.

Regular producing, and solo live performances at raves/dance parties/clubs around Australia 1992 - Present

I got into DJing in 1999, very late considering how long I've been into electronic/dance music. I was always more interested in producing/performing my own music. Now I love to mix records as much/if not more than producing my own music.

Bedroom or Professional:
More professional than bedroom, but I don't gain my income from music. I have a full time IT job. I have done the 'suffer for your art/muso on the dole' lifestyle for a few years many years ago as well.

Preffered Genres (for Production):
Techno, Tribal, Tech-House, Deep-Tech. Have produced/written Drum'n'Bass, Jungle, Hardcore, Cross-Over-Indie-Rock/Dance in the past also.

Admired Producers:
Richie Hawtin, Adam Beyer, Samuel L Session, Jeff Mills, Leandro Gamez, Rino Cerrone, Oliver Ho, Surgeon to name a few.

[House of God]

Name: Kirk. Nick or moniker: House Of God (but will be changed).
City: Darwin NT...(Moving to Vic in comming months)
Age: 25
Length of Experience: Well approx. 9ish months producing/compossing...Radio Dj for around 6mnths to a year, club Dj a few times.
Currently hindered by money and equiptment which will hopefully change at the time i move then i will begin to really create my own signature songs which will involve many musical elements.

Bedroom or Professional: I guess bedroom KINDA as ive signed an A&R Contract with a Melbourne company....BUT i dont believe i have yet aquired the skills or knowledge to be a pro:) BUT my Music has recieved CLUB Play and Radio play many times aswell as great positions in internet charts (ive removed my songs from my old website for anyone wondering as im going through a few changes..blah..blah..blah)

Preffered Genres (for Production): Well hard to say assuming we are talking about what i aim at producing then anything from an Ambient lullaby to a Loud Hard Bangin DnB/HardHouse/HardTrance song is what i might make...however i am hoping to bring in some vocal people when i move and get some great lyrical projects going aswell with all sorts of flavours as i believe that just making what someone else is making cause we know its popular will eventually limit the extent that music evolves for future generations.

Admired Producers: Hmm hard one as i dont really follow other artists work.....BUT I am a fan of FRAGMA for there vocal content i like PPK for there trance style and well there are many id put here but MOST if not ALL artists i like USUALLY have only ever made 1 song that i like....I rarely buy albums cause rarely will i like all there stuff:(

[castech]

Name, Nick or moniker: Castech
City: Melbourne
Age: 29
Length of Experience: Listening to electronica for aprox 4yrs. DJ for about a year. Drummer for 5 years.
Bedroom or Professional: Bedroom
Preffered Genres (for Production): Techno

I've been on and off with hardware and software stuff, i.e Cakewalk, SP808, RM1X and Rolland stuff.

However I'm sorta still lost and would like direction in regards to what set up would suit my needs. I'm learning about MIDI configurations and that but like an hour overview from a professional would be very rewarding. I have a few thousand to spend and I don't want to get burnt with equipment that I'll find useless.

Would it be a stupid to ask whether we could say organise a group meeting with like minded people, maybe with someones studio setup so that I and others could see a studio in action, ask questions and learn honest information? What do others think???
