About Me

Hi there, welcome to Earthbound's site. I started creating sounds a long time ago. I started mixing and converting sounds on my cheap tape-recorder in the late 80's. Music always intriged me, especially weird and beautiful synth sounds. This interest, and the urge to create sounds of my own made me decide to buy a (again) cheap computer when I was 15 years old. I started composing and altering sounds. Most of my samples are filtered out of old pieces of music, converted into a complete, unrecognizable from it's source, different sounds. With those sounds I builded my songs. With new equipment and new ideas I got to the sound I compose today.

I think my music is in a way inaccessible for a lot of people, but I only create what I like, what I feel. I loathe the fact that lots of music these days is created with the purpose only to sell, and to make money. I think that's the wrong reason for creating music. My goal is to create music that's controversial, and created out of passion and emotion. I hope somehow my music moves people, and brings emotional shiver to there spine.

So let me know what you think of my music. And I'm also very interested in music of other artists. Let me know, if you want me to listen to your tracks.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 5/4/2006
Band Website: acidplanet.com/earthbound_music
Band Members: Well, just me..

Influences: I think my music can't be compared to any other band. However I think my music is born out of a desire to emotionally move, shock people or alter people's feelings. I try to create music that provides listeners a doorway to connect to a personal memory, or some time in the past you want to get back to, because things were easy then, and not so complicated.. My challenge in music is to create something vage, ominous, almost ugly, that it becomes beautiful and intriguing.

Influences:
* Tangerime dream
* Kraftwerk
* Boards of Canada
* Mike Oldfield
* Radiohead
* LTJ Bukem
* Air
* Ulrich Schnauss
* Klauz Schulze
* Akira Yamaoka

Sounds Like: Something under water, flying over sea, mindbreaking beauty..
Something, you want, but can't get in this life.
In short, it can't be put into any words.
Record Label: Hope to find one, in the near future
Type of Label: None
