Simplton

simplton is me, derek jester, by myself. it is electronic music. when i first started writing music i used an Ensoniq EPS as my main source of programming. unfortunatley since the equipment was inferior i (5 years later) decided to get a computer. it was traded for a skateboard which i had given someone someone something illegal for. with a computer i have been able to make my music a lot more detailed in half the time. the only downfall is i am able to get so detailed, that at times its almost slower writing with a computer. with the sampler i could chuck out a track a night. now i can spend weeks detailing a track and still not be finished. the grass is always greener. i like my songs fast, usually. i still dig a slow jam but i'm into that whole "headstrong" mindfuck music. the kind that most people disregard as just noise. my biggest weakness is the amen break. its a love/hate relationship. my first album was all done on my Ensoniq as the sequencer and a bunch of other equipment either bought or borrowed. 1 song on it was written on fruity loops but was ran thru a distortion pedal into the tape recorder so its not all cheesy. the second album was written all on *@%$#!. some tracks were manipulated with sound forge 4.5. the new one is not finished. barely even started yet. i have aquired a new barrage of hardware equipment and as soon as i get a place where i can set it up i'm going to attempt something that no musician has attempted before. i'm going to combine the use of computer and hard ware. its sounds crazy but it just might work. see you all next time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
