About Me


The name is Alston I. Cabral , I was born and raised in hawaii. I'm unlike anything you've ever heard of, I'm the tallest flip you've ever seen, I'm 6'4, Born on June 13th 1986. Every name I have has 6 letters. 666 . I've done way too much in life. I'm one of the most mellowest and coolest people you'll ever meet. Crossed that shit out it sounds too cliche. I'm just a cool ass dude that can talk to anyone that ain't a fucking dumbass. Sometimes I put others in front of me, like my family. I love them so much.
My ethnicity is Flip, Chinese, German, French, and Portuguese, but mostly flip. I'm more like a.. A giant flip, Godzilla.. Flipzilla. Though I look hawaiian. I'm pretty real whenever I'm talking, I have nothing to hide. I have a big heart. No I don't DJ, I do music.
I am In Love with my Australian wife, Charmaine . I've never been so in love before. Even though we lived so far away, I'm glad that someone up there made us happen in real life, because I love being with you, waking up next to you everyday. I've never been this happy in my life, you are my other half. I need you baby, I love you so fucking much. Even though we've been together for a while now, I look foward to everyday in my life with you.
I LOVE YOU CHARMAINE!!!


Rest In Peace
My brother...

I found out about music production a while ago. I think it was around 6 years? 1998? I'm not entirely sure. I remember browsing downloads.com for a music player or some shit and I remember coming accross Fruityloops 1.0 which was nothing but a midi player. Fruityloops 2 was out at the time so I got the updated version of the program. I made weird ass beats and just pure random shit. After the other versions of the program came out, my style, production, and sound kept getting better. I think it was version 3 was when I found out about Trance music. Because I remember finding this trance group called "Aura". Their shit was awesome so I kept downloading more and more of their shit. It sounded so good and nothing like anything I've ever heard of before. The sounds just amazed me. They inspired me to do trance music almost like they do.
In time, I got alot better with making upbeat trancy melodies. But they weren't the normal trance shit you'd hear on the Trance Stations. My melodies/stuff were different. With still being a fan of other music, Linkin Park released their "Reanimation" album which made me appreciate beats a whole lot more and gave me a feel of what I wanted to produce. I didn't want limit myself to just one style. I wanted to somewhat combine everything that I love listening to. So far I've been only producing music from my PC. No real instruments. No real synthesizers.
My styles of music, I like to think, are different from most stuff you'd hear. When I listen to old stuff like "Aura" music. It reminds me of how my music sounds. Original and simple sounding. I love my music alot. That might sound a little conceited, lol.
My music is really based on how I am feeling at the current time. It helps me express myself in a way? If I'm sad, you'll hear emotional piano melody shit with dark tunes. If I'm happy, I'll produce some full tracks with feelgood melodies. I never copied anyones sound, or style.
Vocalists : For now, it's just me, myself and I. Doesn't matter if you're female or male. If you're interested in singing for me or yourself and you want me to make you a track, just contact me. I'm always online.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 4/17/2006
Band Website: audioCrunch.net
Band Members: You, and me. We're taking over the world!

I need at least 2 of these to be in the zone and produce music.

Influences: My main inspirations come from life, love, and things that excite me and catch my mind. Could be games, movies, people, and sometimes even somethings that some people do.

Final Fantasy 7 through 12 really inspire me because I love the storylines, the rush, the feeling, the music, the characters man. Sometimes when I play these games I get really into it.

I also like listening to artists like BT, Art of Noise, Above & Beyond, Bart Van Wissen, Pendulum, Nobuo Uematsu, Kanye West, Jay-Z, Linkin Park, Hybrid, Kaskade, Kaito, The Roots, Tupac, Tycho, Weekend Players, and Muse.. Theres like an assload more but those are ones I really enjoy. I have different styles of music I listen to depending on the mood I'm in.
Sounds Like: Nothing you've ever heard of.
Record Label: The ones that make my peepee tingle.
Type of Label: Major
