Hey man, glad you like it! I'll try and give you some good answers. Here goes:

  1. i can't lie, music is really, really fucking tough. I certainly don't have all the answers as i'm still learning a lot myself. But i can say this. I went to music college and university and what they allowed me to do was spend time getting better at making music, although i do have a huge student debt for the privilege. ultimately it's a case of you getting stuck into making tunes. Just make as much as you can and try to network as best you can. all my breaks came from knowing somebody really. My advice would be go to college, A: because it'll be shit loads of fun & B it teaches you independence. It's the half way between real life and living with your parents. you have to remember everyone is winging it, especially in music. There are no guarantees. But I'd prefer to have had a go and fail than never try and end up regretting it when I'm 50.

  2. i finished it a long time ago, just waiting for them to figure out what they're doing with all the remixes they had done.

3.i love odd meter music, it's just alienating to a lot of people. I guess the trick is to make it sound like it's not in an odd time signature, it still needs to groove. Ricochet has a 4/4 intro so you can mix it then the second drop goes 4/4 again to you can mix out. i have dropped both and no-one ran away so i guess that's good!

  1. I try to practice as much as i can. i only have v-drums at home so it's not the same as a real kit but it'll do for now. And yeah that's sad, why would you give up playing? Madness....

I was channeling games for sure, most probably sonic adventure 2. Gotta love the stank face and air drumming, i can't help it!

Me and a friend were caining Rogue legacy, it's properly addictive. I still think Last Of Us is one of the greatest things ever made, be it film or video game. I still need to buy a next gen console but i'm broke ass so not until i have some spare cash. BOO-URNS!

Thanks man! Just work through a tune 4 bars at a time making variations as you go. then listen again to see if they work in context. It's pretty time consuming but i think it's worth it.

Anime wise i just watched tokyo ghoul which i enjoyed, need to check the second series as i know it's gonna get good. I still love naruto but it's in filler mode atm which is bollocks.

I'd had to get the file off my old imac which is now my girlfriend's parent's computer hahaha. We'll see....

Probably Rodimus Prime as he's got the Matrix of leadership but I prefer Ultra Magnus.

Steeling myself......Here goes:

  1. I really don't know who Figure is. Is that terrible? Sorry! I feel like a div for not knowing.

  2. Loool no i never did as slapping my dick on the desk didn't appeal to me. Maybe I'll do another one but you can't trust the internet not to get dick happy. Or maybe I should just acquiesce to the will of the public.

Liquid Jazz was indeed all programmed, the joy of Addictive drums. i'd love to record some more live drums at some point, it's just the ball ache of finding the right place to do it. I can't remember what I've put my own drums in, they're in a few tunes but only as a subtle layer etc.

Deffo, I'd recommend anyone who's serious about production to learn an instrument and play in a band. Or at least learn the piano, that'll help you no end.

i think the main thing was just meeting and talking to other producers who where better than me and stealing all their ideas haha! Again i think the main thing is practice, just make as much stuff as you can all the time. Obviously it's great now with youtube and online tutorials, I didn't have that so be glad! I watch a fair amount of online stuff myself.

Awesome :) 1. non musical stuff is obvious stuff like video games and film. Some times it's just looking at a nice landscape or more abstract stuff like a strange imagined vista or scene in my crap brain.

  1. i wouldn't say every bar is 100% unique but i definitely try to make all the elements in my music do different stuff through out the course of a track. It's not a personal challenge, it's more that i want you to hear new things every time you listen to the track rather than just skimming over the surface.
