About me...
Professional Direction
I manage an eBusiness Centre in Brisbane, Australia. My specialty - search engine optimisation techniques with strong focus on growth of small and medium-sized businesses through planned exposure of products and services on the Internet.
Working with small businesses means taking on a daily challenge and understanding often poorly structured business data and modelling it for web delivery. It's a very interesting and rewarding area where you feel like you are making the difference.
Analogik and Music
I am a co-founder of Analogik, responsible for content, maintenance and promotion of our website.
My music style can be described as hard and minimal explorative techno, often influenced by schranz and future tech sounds.
General inspiration comes from nature, urban environments, mechanics, technology, science, but first of all, futurism – my greatest passion. Most of my tracks never get properly sequenced and, so to speak, finished. In my musical efforts I am constantly in quest for the idea – the light motif, and often get bored by technological limitations, sound effects…etc.
To me it's not important to fine tune and polish a track unless there was a really good reason for it. At best I will map all the virtual instruments to a MicroKORG and use it as a MIDI controller. Tracks like that are perfect for my performance type, and that is – pure live mix.
I love techno in its raw form and often have a better time listening to an amateur having a go at his first couple of tracks than a washed-out professional struggling for inspiration. Track production routine consists of knowledge, experience, and technical expertise and is probably one of the most dangerous things that can happen to a creative producer.
Hobbies and Preferences
I enjoy healthy life with no alcohol, coffee, smoking or chemicals. I love good food, especially fruit, and enjoy spending time with friends in the nature, mountain biking, bush walking and camping.
On weekdays, after business hours you'll often find me at my desk writing music, experimenting with sounds, working on a new multimedia/web project or simply researching the web to satisfy my ever-hungry curiosity.
Film and literature preference is science/science fiction, followed by arthouse. Favourite writers would have to be Isaac Asimov and Arthur C Clarke. Magazines subscriptions: TIME and New Scientist.
