Music is my passion. :)

I'm a musician, producer, remix artist and sound designer. I've released music through DM Records in the late 90s. Right now I'm working towards finishing the debut Audesi album for release late 2007/early 2008 as well as doing production music for film/television/video games and remixes for other artists. (i.e. Celldweller , lvl.)

To have Audesi remix a track send inquires for price quotes to [email protected] .

I've studied classical and jazz theory. I play piano, guitar, bass guitar, synth and more recently vocals. I've also been co-producing and mixing and mastering songs for other bands, like Polaroid Kiss .

I have a beautiful and artistic girlfriend named Mandy whom I love very much.

Short Artist Bio

Audesi is the moniker for multi-instrumentalist/producer Earl Dixon who began recording in his small bedroom studio at the age of 11. Through the years he has undertaken a wide array of electronic styles, from techno-bass, trip-hop, ambient, breakbeat to electro clash. Throughout the 1990s, he was the founding member of the techno-bass, later acid-breakbeat group the Underground Bass Masters who went on to release three commercial records. Audesi is in the works of producing electro-pop artists Polaroid Kiss and electro-trance artist Xavier Orengo. He is collaborating with artists such as Kelli Ali from the Sneaker Pimps and 3pm from the synth-pop/breakbeat group The Wideband Network. He has done remixes for artists such as Celldweller & lvl with great reception. Currently he is recording an album planned for release in 2008, planning an upcoming tour with Polaroid Kiss and working on music for film/tv/game licensing through FIXT Music.
